IN THE BEGINNING. . .

Rozinante 15 rowboat




John’s first glued-lapstrake boat, a 15’ rowing gig, built in 1987.

She was beautiful, fun, and went along nicely. We learned a lot from her: things that worked well—and a few that didn’t. The Peregrine and Merlin rowboats directly benefited from what we learned from Rozi.
