Holman 26 also known as a Stella But.
Reputedly because a Stella owner said to Kim Holman.
"Can you design me a yacht, Like a Stella, But with more headroom and carvel planking?"
Not sure it's true but a good story.

On page 81 of the August 2019 edition of Classic Boat there is a small piece about a Holman 26 needing restoration and, although not refered to as a quote, it says ".... Holman's 37th design.....for clients wanting something like a Stella but a little larger......" ?

well they got it, slightly larger and faster than the Stella, but not as fast or as large the Twister.

Oh yeah? As a former Stella owner, that's fighting talk! ☺

Which was your Stella, Dan?

We owned *32, Starfox. Sold her about 2001. Not sure where she is now, reputed to be in Essex.

Starfox has had quite an epiphany, as she's now glass sheathed and enjoying life as a trailer sailer, cruising in Europe, and sometimes to be seen on a mooring outside Levington when not travelling. I don't think she has raced since the encapsulation, but permission to do so was ushered through the class association AGM, I believe.
