Philip Rhodes / Abeking & Rasmussen 49 ft Bermudan Cutter 1961/1995

THUNDERHEAD may be one of the most successful examples in this size and era of an exquisite looking yacht that lives up to its promise in sailing ability and comfort – a true family cruiser-racer. She is also as fine an example as they come of the transatlantic rapport that existed through the 1950s and 1960s between the Rhodes design office in New York and Abeking & Rasmussen’s fine craftsmen at Bremerhaven, Germany. A combination of tank testing, fine specification and build quality, and the right kind of care and use, has stood THUNDERHEAD in good stead for over 60 years and many thousands of sea miles. Many have craved ownership of this very special yacht, but chances to have been few and far between.
