BROKERS COMMENTS
From a designer noted for innovative designs and use of materials for race winning boats, the Gallant is one
of Ricus Van De Stadts classics and deserving of her selection by Naomi James for her record breaking
Round the World enterprise. Today she is more a cruising yacht and is very well laid out and equipped for the
role, which has brought much pleasure to her owners with the additional surety of sea kindliness and the
ability to handle any weather.
HISTORICAL NOTES
The Gallant 53 was designed by the celebrated naval architect and yacht designer, E.G. Van de Stadt; the
culmination of his pioneering work and vast experience in the development of offshore glass fibre yachts for
which he became internationally renowned.
To many eyes this Van de Stadt design is still one of the most attractive ever conceived with beautiful lines
and superb proportions. In 1967 the Gallant was awarded the Lloyd's Register of Shipping 1968 Yacht Trophy
for outstanding design, performance and craftsmanship then universally recognised as the highest
distinction any designer and yard may hope to achieve. She was the longest GRP production yacht in her day,
but still considered a Gentleman's yacht.
They soon gained a reputation for their good looks, bulletproof construction, superb motion in a seaway and
as has been proved, the ease with which they can be handled with a minimum crew. Twenty two were built as
ketches or cutter-rigged sloops by Southern Ocean Shipyard Ltd and by Tylers in England from 1967 to 1973.
It was (Dame) Naomi James however, who set off from Dartmouth on 9 September 1977 to sail round the
world on EXPRESS CRUSADER. During the voyage, she nearly lost her mast, capsized and had no radio for
several weeks. Completing the voyage on 8 June 1978 after 272 days, she beat Sir Francis Chichester's then
solo round-the-world sailing record by two days, the first woman to sail single-handed around the world via
Cape Horn.
