There are many variables in the consistent performance of Horizon, in my opinion, the largest factor is the performance optimization by Tim Kernan along with the boat’s rudder designed by Alan Andrew. In 2009 she underwent an extensive refit at Dennis Choate’s LB yard. At this time it was discovered that the Andrews designed “Lokomotion” was making a rudder design change with Team Horizon purchasing the replaced rudder. This rudder was the magic to Horizon consistency on the racecourse.
Horizon Race record: Transpac’s division wins (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017 & 2021) in 2021 Horizon set a new course record of 8 days 23 hours & 23 minutes. Which was held by Allure in 1987. Horizon’s Mexico race record has also been exceptional with podium finishes in all attempts along with a class win in the SDYC’s PV Race in 2010, an overall win in the Cabo 2009 race, along with an overall win in the PV 2014 race. She also has two overall wins in the Ensenada Race, and 2016 CORW. In 2009 the engine went through a top to bottom rebuild. The list goes on and on with the addition of a completely new B&G electronics package, TracVision satellite communication, and satellite phone communications. Horizon is the boat to beat in the Santa Cruz 50 & 52 division which attracts up to 12 boats in most offshore races.
We selected this division because we felt that this was the highest skill level of Corinthian participants. The idea of sailing submerged in water, eating dry food, and using a bucket as a head did not apply to us. Horizon met our use perfectly and we have always felt privileged to sail aboard her.

77' Goetz/Derecktor 1996/2014
ASKING $ 1,850,000
This vessel has got it all! I am going to try something different here, close your eyes and take yourself to Catalina Island. You have spent the summer just off of Moonstone/Whites Cove with all the toys out while you and your spouse have become good friends with the yachtsman from the three renowned yacht clubs of Southern California. San Diego Yacht Club, Newport Harbor Yacht Club and Balboa Yacht Club where you have been consistently invited to friends yachts to toast to the "Sounds of the Horns" at 1700 for happy hour then to ashore for dinner. The end of summer is approaching with you entering the Long Point Race Week.
This weekend you show up with two other couples because you feel like pushing the boat a little harder to demonstrate just what you have under the hood. "This is not your father's sailboat" with the owners of "Stark Raving Mad", "Rio", "Claude2" & "Pyewacket" coming up to asking just what you have there?
My reply would be holding up your glass "A dry shaken martini!"
My question to you is "Can I crew for you?"
Berthed in Oxnard California
1985 47' Kong & Halvorsen Ketch
ASKING $ 169,000
Daring is owned by one of the best sailors I have ever sailed with. Commissioned to take the family on a Mexico cruise, she is easy to sail short-handed with good performance. When you come aboard please notice the detail that was placed in the electric panel, custom SS dinghy rack, and the general layout of the boat.
She is not a weekend-type vessel like your Catalina’s or Beneteau’s. This is a performance cruising boat. If that's what you are looking for then you should schedule an appointment to view her.
OWNERS COMMENTS: "The 4 things I really like about this boat are being able to lead all lines to the electric winches, the large sleep able cockpit, and the gentle motion at sea, reliable 6 cylinders 100 hp Westerbeke engine, and the look of a German Frers design. If anyone asks, the hull lines/shape is very similar to the Swan 46 hull designed about the same time."
