A record of, and ruminations on, the building and enjoyment of my boats.
After an exhilarating sail the day before, our slide out of Onancock for home was dreamlike. Logged over 40 miles in 9 hours that day. Not bad for a little 28′ boat. She moves.
Here are some clips from the journey back to Mobjack-

Block Island Marine Museum has a 1972 HERRESHOFF ROZINANTE that apparently was for the man himself.

Thanks David. I believe I saw this boat on Yachtworld for a year or two. Hard to miss a red one. Asking is almost twice what I found Luna for. The Museum in St. Michaels, MD auctioned one for $6k 2 years ago. Before that, I had called the broker several times to view the boat. He never returned calls. The owner found out and was not too happy. He did love the boat though. So do I. I missed that buy, but got me looking in earnest. Found Luna in MI and hauled her home.
