The Ocean 71 holds a prestigious place in maritime history as the first large-scale production fiberglass yacht to exceed 70 feet in length. Designed by the visionary E.G. Van de Stadt and built by Southern Ocean Shipyard (SOS) in Poole, England, the model represented a bold leap forward in GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) construction during the early 1970s. Originally conceived to meet the demands of the burgeoning maxi-yacht racing circuit and the high-end offshore charter market, the Ocean 71 is defined by its flush-deck profile, ketch rig, and powerful, seaworthy hull.
