The boats that we produced were all bespoke, crafted to customer specifications so you may find many variations on this core product out there that are unique in their own way.

Rocket 31

Boat Descritption

Rocket 31

The hull form is a radical departure from the accepted norms which have evolved under the rating rules. The hull lines where conceived by New Zealand yacht designer Jim Young who tempted Greg Peck from Cornwall to build a cedar prototype. Greg having made numerous yacht campaigns in recent years had his own requirements for deck design and outfit. The combination produced “Camp Freddie” one of the most exciting boats afloat. A set of moulds taken from “Camp Freddie” now offer Rocket31’s at various stages of completion. It is not intended to make the yacht a one-design, rather a development class based on the easily driven hull. Rigs, keels, engines and internal outfit etc can be to owners preferences. This is the type of boat that many yachtsmen have been waiting for – fast, fun, safe and available for economic home completion. The most striking feature of the Rocket31 is the beam; its 3.8m (13ft) making it feel like a 12.0m on deck. The aggressive shape and wide stern make her look and sail extremely fast. A useful feature is the fin and bulb keel which fits into a dagger board style slot from under the hull and only takes a few minutes to remove making transport and storage easy. “Camp Freddie” is fitted with a double swept back spreader mast without backstay or runners which allows a large roached fully battened mainsail to be used for enormous power. “Camp Freddie” used a conventional spinnaker pole and asymmetric fractional or masthead kite or retracting bowsprit.

The Young 88 and then radical Rocket 31 were ideal for the new technology which offered great strength with spectacular saving in weight. It is now popularly known as Cedar Core construction. The Y88 plug was built by Greg Elliott and the Rocket 31 was built by Terry Cookson. They were the first yachts to be built using the technology….

Camp Freddie, a Rocket 31 built and sailed by Greg Peck in the UK won every regatta she entered. She was the overall winner of Class One Cowes week in the UK in 1994. In strong winds. Her slightly lower spec. sister Zapata won Class Two. Camp Freddie then went on to win the Round Isle of Wight race against 1800 starters. The only New Zealand design to make such a coupe. Yet the local yachting press didn’t even notice!

The concept of the light, dinghy type, high performance keel yacht had never been seen in the Northern Hemisphere. Nor had it been seen in New Zealand before 1980. I believe it was the astounding performance of Camp Freddie (one UK yachting scribe describing her as looking like a squashed jandal) that inspired the now globally popular production sports yacht.

Following an impressive career in the marine industry, one of the great New Zealand designers and boat builders, the legendary Jim Young, designed the Rocket 31 Camp Freddie, a Rocket 31 built and sailed by Greg Peck in the UK won every regatta she entered. She was the overall winner of Class One Cowes week in the UK in 1994. In strong winds. Her slightly lower spec. sister Zapata won Class Two. Camp Freddie then went on to win the Round Isle of Wight race against 1800 starters. The only New Zealand design to make such a coupe. The boat is very beamy, which makes for spacious cruising and can accommodate a lot of people for a 30 footer. Due to the wide beam, there’s a lot of volume below, so could optimise for cruising, although this is a little more sparse inside. You will have a lot of fun racing this boat, but can still have friends on for a barbie. You will not find better racing value for this price. This one is in great shape and has been regularly raced and cruised with a good maintenance regime coming out the water each year for 3 months. She starts planning at 11 Knots and down wind with the big red kite she achieved 20 knots in force 5-6 in waves on Round The Island Race

The Yachting World hall of fame: 50 yachts that changed the way we sail

Helen Fretter

  • Helen Fretter
  • May 13, 2020

We asked historians, round the world race winners and legendary sailors to name the yachts that changed the sport for good. In no particular order, these are the 50 yachts that shifted how we sail...

1. Mariquita

Built: 1911 Design: William Fife III

Mariquita is a living link between the ‘Big Class’ behemoths, such as Britannia , the J Class and all that went after, including the hugely popular 12-metres. The 125ft gaff cutter was launched as part of a new 19-metre class designed to pitch matched yachts against one another.

Just four were built. Mariquita performed well, particularly in light airs. She also, uniquely, survived. Having been used as a houseboat for many years, she was discovered in the mud in 1991 and lovingly restored to relaunch in 2003, and she still races today.

2. ABN Amro One

Built: 2005 Design: Juan Kouyoumdjian

Two Volvo Ocean Race -winning skippers nominated Juan Kouyoumdjian’s ABN Amro One , the 5.6m beam, aggressively chined winner of the 2005-06 race. Her skipper Mike Sanderson comments: “I am biased, but I think ABN Amro One was very special and really did change people’s thinking about what made a good offshore race boat.

“As this was the first generation of Volvo 70s it was always going to be an interesting time seeing how people translated the rule,” says Sanderson. The other factor was many of the team’s involvement in Open 60 sailing.

“We very much looked at the concept of the boat differently: no spinnaker pole, furling No.4 Jibs, twin rudders, lazyjacks, snuffers on spinnakers… They all went from being equipment that was only used on single-handed boats to our team thinking it could make us faster around the world, day in day out.”

43 of the best bluewater sailboat designs of all time

Which yacht is the best for bluewater boating? This question generates even more debate among sailors than questions about what’s…

Ian Walker , winner of the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race, recalls: “This generation of boats smashed the previous 24-hour records and made the 600-mile day possible. ABN Amro was quite radical structurally but the key thing was she prioritised stability over anything else – such as wetted surface area.

“The Farr boats were lower wetted surface area and even started out with spinnaker poles! Asymmetric spinnakers meant sailing higher angles and more often needing righting moment.

“ABN Amro One also had twin rudders and more transom immersion, which meant it was slow in light winds but fast at high speed. There was some doubt when it was last in the first in-port races and because much of the race is in light winds, but it was so fast reaching that it negated any weaknesses.”

The black boat went on to win six of the nine offshore legs. Sanderson adds: “In all the Volvo 70s that where built – and to be honest in all the offshore boats that have followed ( Rambler , Comanche etc.) – you can see a bit of ‘Black Betty’ as we nicknamed her.”

3. TP52 Patches

Built: 2007 Design: Reichel Pugh

Originally created to produce fast yachts for the Transpac Race, the TP52 class developed into an owner-driven inshore circuit which continues to attract the world’s best monohull sailors (these days as the Super Series). One development refined on the TP was the change to wide aft sections.

“We started off with quite narrow sterns and the working deck stopping well over one metre forward of the stern,” comments class manager Rob Weiland. “We now see an almost continuous width of the working deck from Beam Max aft and the working deck continuing to the stern.

“The ‘powerful stern’ is now the norm in offshore racing. I’m not sure whether we started it, but for sure, we were the test bed for how to refine that hull shape concept for windward leeward performance.”

First to have a working deck all the way aft was the 2007 Reichel Pugh Patches , a style then taken a stage further by ETNZ (2009), which added slab-sided topsides with a knuckle to create more hull stability when heeled. ETNZ also saw refinements in deck layout, elements of which have filtered down to more mainstream designs, such as transverse jib car tracks.

4. B&Q Castorama

Built: 2004 Design: Nigel Irens

‘Mobi’, as she was affectionately known, was the 75ft trimaran designed by Nigel Irens specifically for Ellen MacArthur’s solo round the world record attempt in 2004.

B&Q Castorama was highly optimised, being longer, narrower, and with more freeboard than the ORMA 60s, reducing the risk of a pitchpole.

She was also, uniquely, custom built for a petite female skipper, with a full-scale mock up of the cockpit created at Offshore Challenges office. The trimaran took over a day off Francis Joyon’s record to finish in 71 days and 14 hours.

5. Ragtime, J/24. 1976, Rod Johnstone: It took 18 months for Rod Johnstone to build this 24-footer in his garage in Connecticut. It was simple to sail, and light enough to be trailable. Competing in the summer of ’76, Ragtime was so successful that many people asked Rod for a sister ship. He quit his job, and with brother Bob Johnstone set up J-Boats. Just two years later the J/24 had its own start at Key West. Over 5,500 have since sold worldwide.

5. J/24 Ragtime

Built: 1976 Design: Rod Johnstone

It took 18 months for Rod Johnstone to build this 24-footer in his garage in Connecticut. It was designed to be simple to sail, with few rig adjustments, and light enough to be trailable. Rod’s family helped sand and finish the boat, and she was called  Ragtime . Competing at their local race series in the summer of ’76, Ragtime was so successful that many people asked Rod for a sistership. He quit his job, and with brother Bob Johnstone set up J-Boats.

Their confidence proved well placed. Just two years later the J/24 class had its own one-design fleet at Key West in 1978, with 20 boats on the line. Now over 5,500 boats have been built and sold worldwide.

The J-boat line expanded to include one-designs like the J/70, as well as cruiser-racers such as the J/109. It has since has become synonymous with asymmetric sailing, doing much to popularise the use of asymmetric spinnakers on big boats.

  • Yacht Harbour

“The group wanted a character that embodied extremes. They thought about a client that one hand has a party attitude but on the other is very down to earth as well. They combined a fictional character and a real character to dream up the client – for the down to earth side, it was Forest Gump, and for the wilder side, it was Freddie Mercury. With that, Freddie Gump as born.”

There are so many future concepts coming out, but they are simply designed for 50 years from now. That too easy. Everybody can dream but to create something using technology that's applicable today, if you just have the will to do it, that's what we're showcasing.  We feel like we can bring some joy to people's life by showcasing the possibilities that we are able to do right now. If you look at these designs, they trigger people to move forward and leverage on the existing technology. We want to showcase what is possible and not be dominated by the generics of this industry. It's very easy to make baby steps into what the next stage of yachting should be. We think we could really speed up the process if we find clients ready and wanting to invest in this.

Client Reviews

Being first time boat owners, our process was lengthy - evaluating different makes/models, determining what's best for us and our family, budget, upkeep, etc.  We wanted to ensure we made the right decision.  James was very patient, gave us his straight opinion, didn't try to steer us to only his listings and his knowledge of boats was invaluable.  We made the right decision to work with James and, in turn, he helped us purchase the right boat for us.

Our family's boat purchasing experience was handled with ease thanks in great part to James. He made himself available for all our questions. James made the extra effort and found boats for us to view that met our needs. When we decided on a boat, he was present for the boat survey to ensure the quality of the boat for our family's use. We would highly recommend Seabreeze Yacht.

Working with James was an absolute pleasure.  I had a very long trip to go and he was set up and ready to test drive immediately. There were no snakes in the grass and he was very proactive in getting the title to me in a timely manner.  I highly recommend anyone in the area (or in my case over 800 miles away) contacting James.  Also, the marina on the same lot fixed any hiccups James told me about immediately.  Great boat buying experience.

The boat was just delivered and it looks and drives great. I wanted to thank you for making the entire sales process a pleasure. You are truly a gentleman and very professional.

Thanks again and enjoy the summer.

Best Regards, Jeff

"What can I say? James of Seabreeze Yacht sold our boat sooner than we had expected.  He provided us with the information to properly price the boat and walked us through the process to make the settlement as easy as possible.  We appreciate his honesty and communication throughout this whole process."  

"James Ross from Seabreeze Yachts did an outstanding job selling our boat in a matter of 6 weeks in the middle of winter!

He did an excellent job photographing our boat for the all-important visual presentation needed for Yachtworld.com. His knowledge of boats in general and ours in particular helped engage potential buyers in the all important visits and first impressions. He took us through the closing process with ease through the electronic version of purchase contracts, buyer qualification, escrow, etc. His participation in the survey and sea trial process was invaluable.

We whole heartedly recommend James and Seabreeze Yachts to sell your boat."

"If you want the best of the best then go to Seabreeze Yacht [email protected] for advice, knowledge, in the boating industry. He is kind, courteous, considerate and prompt. His methods of displaying your boat online is the best in the industry. Once he photographs your boat you will want to keep it! You will not jump the ship with James!"

"James from Seabreeze yacht was instrumental in the sale of my sailboat.

Through his outreach and “hands-on” support, I had two immediate potential buyers. James walked them and me through the selling process and directly supported me during the “detailed” inspection.

All and all, James made it effective and limited my time to get the sale done."

Long over-due review. 

James helped us sell our boat this past month and can't give him enough credit for the smooth transaction. James is very knowledgeable about the boating industry and guided us through this process very professionally.

Thanks James

Liz & Roddy

We first met James when he helped us select the best boat for us as first time boaters. He relieved our concerns and matched us with the right boat. His interest in our boating progress and our needs, while maintaining close contact as he guided us to the perfect second boat and relaxing dock life. James is sincere, conscious of others' needs, and always available to advise and to identify the best people to support us. James is a five star person in knowledge, sales, and friendship!

Thanks for the follow-up.  We had a great transit and have been using the boat as much as possible before putting her to bed for the winter. Boat runs great and we are very happy with it.  Thanks for the help (and guidance) throughout the purchasing process.  Even though we never met face to face, I completely trusted your support.  Not sure what Seabreeze Yacht could have done any different – things went as you outlined!

Thanks, Chuck

Carefree Boat Club Hamptons Landing

Hamptons Landing  16205 Neabsco Rd. Woodbridge, VA, 22191

Carefree Boat Club Hamptons Landing

Hampton's Landing Marina is located on Neabsco Creek on the Virginia side of the Potomac River in Woodbridge VA, 26 miles south of Washington DC. The marina's address is 16205 Neabsco Rd, Woodbridge VA.

Captain John Smith camped along Neabsco Creek in 1608 as he mapped the Potomac. The marina is along Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge, which has 325 acres of tidal marsh, wetlands, and woodlands.

Marina Amenities

Club members have access to the marina's ship’s store selling drinks, ice, and snacks, luxury bathhouse, fuel dock, and an outdoor recreation area with picnic amenities. Free parking is close to the dock. When members depart the club's dock, they have a 2 minute ride to reach the Potomac River.

Things To Do

Club members enjoy cruising 3 miles across the Potomac to Mattawoman Creek on the Potomac's Maryland shore. Mattawoman offers 7 miles of boating through tidal marshes and wilderness shoreline. Mattawoman is famous for its largemouth bass, so plentiful that major bass fishing tournaments are held here each year. Mattawoman is also home to gar, perch, shad, and 60 lb. catfish. It is a favorite spot for bird watching, lazy anchoring, waterskiing, and tubing.

A boaters' restaurant, Fatty's Taphouse on the River, which recently replaced Tim's Rivershore restaurant, is along the Potomac's Virginia shoreline 3 miles south of Neabsco Creek.

Club members also cruise 3 miles up the Potomac to Mason Neck State Park, located at Belmont Bay at the mouth of the Occoquan River. It is a favorite spot for boaters to drop anchor in 2' of water along the beach. From there, boats can cruise 15 minutes up the Occoquan River past several marina restaurants and tie up at the public dock in historic Occoquan VA. An old mill town, Occoquan now offers restaurants, art and craft galleries, fashion boutiques, and of course several ice cream shops where boaters with children stop in.

Members taking a boat all day or overnight can cruise up the Potomac to National Harbor MD, Old Town Alexandria VA, and Washington DC. Colonial Beach VA, a favorite overnight destination 90 minutes down the Potomac from Hampton's Landing Marina, is an old riverboat resort town. The gambling boats are long gone, but Colonial Beach offers restaurants, antiques, art galleries, and other shops to explore. The town boasts the second longest sandy beach in Virginia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a boat club.

Carefree Boat Club is a private club. This means that our boats are only available to Members. We do not rent or charter our boats. Our members are the only ones with unlimited access to the fleet and they  never pay a fee to use the boats .

Carefree Boat Club Hamptons Landing

Is It Truly "Unlimited?"

Yes! Members have true unlimited access to boats.  Boat as much as you like .    

Is It Worth The Price?

It really is. With membership as little as 1/3 cost of owning a boat, you can cross numerous expenses off your list such as: boat purchase, slip fee, insurance, maintenance, repairs, taxes, towing and winterization.

How Does The Training Work?

All members get as much training as they need on and off the water. "On The Water" training is done with a certified instructor. Training covers CBC processes, general navigation, docking and safety.

How Soon Can I Get On The Water?

After joining, new members (without boating experience) can normally be boating within days of joining. If you have previous boat training, you can be on the water even sooner.

Are The Boats Well-Maintained?

Absolutely, in fact, all boats are inspected weekly by the CBC dock staff using a 50 point checklist of safety equipment, hull condition, electronics, and general mechanical items.

"Fall In Love With The Premier Boating Lifestyle"

"I joined Carefree a little over a year ago.  My experience has been nothing short of excellent . I have enjoyed boating for years but was never the captain. When some life circumstances changed, I thought I would have to give up this relaxing pleasure. I was not ready to do that,  so boating without owning was the perfect solution for me . The Carefree Boat Club instructors were patient and made sure that I was completely comfortable before going out on my own. The price is reasonable, and the extras that come membership are great!"

"This is our 3rd year at the Carefree Boat Club and we continue to thoroughly enjoy the experience. The concept works well for us, just make a reservation on-line and show up at the dock. The boats are new or nearly new, are always clean and ready to go . The staff are terrific people, they run the club like family. Always friendly, courteous, and accommodating to most any situation. They encourage you to get out there, help make it happen, and make the club experience very enjoyable."
