thanks take care

Davao Real Estate

I recently became aware of a Rozinante in restorable condition in South Jersey. She still has her shape and most of her hull planks but would need major loving. Most of the deck was missing. The yard says that no one has visited her in several years but that they would be willing to act as intermediaries with the owners if someone were interested.

There was once an engine installed but that is missing.

Iam the builder of two, plank on frame, Rozinantes listed on this site,built some 25 to 30 years ago.Iam happy to know they're still sailing. Presently building a 1/4 scale model of a 42'version, a Rozinante on steroids.

Rozinante org,

I came across your site yesterday while looking for leads on a Rozinante that was built by Bill Livingston in Nortport Michigan around 1965. I have a Sept. 1966 copy of the Leelanau Enterprise with an article about Livingston and the boats he built, and among them, this Rozinante that was built for a client that was a member of the Milwaukee YC. Does this boat ring a bell with any of you in your organization.
Knowing Mr. Livingston as a young boy, I'd love to know if this boat is still among us somewhere.

Regards,
Bill Koral

Today I removed all of the station molds and the hull is in primer coat and will be rolled over this Saturday. The rollover will be available for view on UTUBE.
The purpose of this message is I'm offering at no charge all of the station molds and the jig sides for the keel. The molds have some slight damage to the bevel edges from not pre drilling for the wedge braces during planking and 2 small broken pieces at the clamp on one mold during removal. All very repairable. They are 3/4" particle board molds with 2 X 4 stands and 3/8" ply lower reinforcement. I was happy with the way they came out and faired.
Not included are any drawings or the lofting. I'm still using them, obviously.
I also feel strongly that a set of lines, offsets, and construction plans should be purchased from Doug Hylan who modified the L. Francis Herreshoff Rozinante before giving the molds away.
The deal is:
Whoever wants the molds has to pick them up or arrange a pickup. I'm not even going to help.
I will not send them to anyone.
I'm not responsible for any errors.
Burn season starts on Jan 6th and after that they will be burned.
They are sitting outside but covered.
Location is southeastern New England

It's a good deal. I hope someone grabs them.

Thanks to Willy Hampton (and to Ron Klebba) for sharing their exciting construction photos. They are a great inspiration to us arm-chair boatbuilders. I look forward each day to seeing the latest in the Jupiter series from Willy.
