Stormvogel, a 73' ketch was built for South African owner Cornelius Bruynzeel. She raced in several Transpacific Yacht Races (LA to Honolulu) as well as other major ocean races, turning in outstanding times. She was bested in the amazing 1967 Honolulu Race by Bob Johnson's stripped and lightened 73' ketch, Ticonderoga, one of the most beautiful sailing vessels of all time. I believe the naval architect for Stormvogel was Giles VanDeststant. Approximate build date would have been 1965. Probably was built of fibreglass.

AnswerThe 80 foot custom built blue water racing ketch named storm vogel was used as the couple,s sailing yacht. It was built entirely of plywood in 1961. I dont know who built her. she was an unbeatable racer for almost a dacade.

Stormvogel manufactured the sailboat used in the movie 'Dead Calm'. Before filming started, Nicole Kidman took lessons from the owner of the company.
