The Sixty Years of the past century were characterized by a buoyant economic moment, which had begun in the previous decade and was concluded at the end of the decade. The passage of a war economy, following the Second World War, was thus closed to the reconstruction of the economic and social fabric of the Western countries. The great and rapid economic improvement immediately brought with it the take-off of water sports, although with a fundamental difference, due to the access of new social layers to that sport. This implied the reduction of the dimensions of the recreational ships and the success of a whole series of “popular” models with excellent navigational skills, even height, and habitability. While in the U.S. the typical dimensions remained around 12 meters, in Europe and especially in England, these dimensions were located around 9 meters. To offer the best interior and deck inhabitability, the helms hung outside in the stern mirror and many English models, of different design law firms, were characterized for decades by that style. Kim Holman always had a very classic and elegant design style, with a clear tendency to innovate within the nautical classicism. Its ships, in addition to beautiful and elegant, were very fast and won races, even high. The North Sea 24, in whose name is maintained the tradition of naming the slogan in floating and not the total, are a clear example of the success of the formula. About twelve, of the nearly thirty that were built in total, were made in Spain by Carabela and of them, several were sent to England to their local shipowners. Brixham's Upham shipyard built the remaining ones. In fact, Carabela was the first builder and the first order came from an excellent English sailor, John Harrison, who in 1963 commissioned the first of the series, the “Andorran”. With that ship Harrison won in 1965 the R.O.R.C. races that was a season characterized by bad weather. To perform such a feat, the “Andorran” traveled thousands of miles. With the “Andorran” Harrison crossed the Atlantic twice, back and forth. Carabela built a second unit of the same design, which was called “Antares”, before Harrison ordered the third, slightly improved design: the “North Sea” which, in its English version, would give the name to the class. Two North Sea 24 Carabela were built for U.S. customers. The lines of this model also served for Rustler 31, which is practically its version in fiberglass, of which about fifty more units were built, while the successive Rustler 36 is an elongated version of the same lines. The North Sea 24, like almost all the small boats of its time, is designed with heavy displacement, so it may seem unpowerful as your data is looked at. However, the results in regatta were not expected and based on the success of Holman's design. The “Cascabel” itself, the ship to which it is concerned, has shown it in the hands of its owner, fine timonel and Olympic champion, in races against major ships and on cruise, with long cruises without any problem. The “Cascabel” is in good conditions of use and navigation and only needs change of syrup and aesthetic, painting and varnish arrangements. It can be a great boat to run races on the CIM circuit and to perform cruises, even important on the Mediterranean.
