Coolboats to admire

[Bull City]

Yawl Rig?

Bingo. It's Doug Hylan design based on the Rozinante, and got the mizzen out of the cockpit.

Any difference besides the rig, Bull?

Nat Benjamin did a Rozinante inspired yawl as well.  The design is called TERN, but I believe he's built several of them.  It's got 18" more beam and fuller ends, not to mention a gaff mainsail.  Not quite as elegant as the original, in my opinion, but probably has a lot more room in the cockpit and down below.

   CERCERELLE is the Rozinante I remember, built at O Lie Nielsen in Rockland. I prefer a white hull on this design.

I propose 3 sub-categories for “cool boats”:

1) cool boats for messing about in. See the entries immediately above.

2) cool boats for offshore work.

3) cool boats that are aesthetic marvels but utterly impractical due to size, cost, or extreme design.

Or, to get it down to 2 categories:

1) cool boats I could afford to operate.

2) cool boats if somebody else paid for the upkeep, crew, berth, steaks, scantily clad models, etc.

Not that the thread should be restricted to any one of the categories above—all are nice.

Sorry, no idea.

1) cool boats I could afford to operate.

I think affordable combined with anything about or for boats is a really good example of an Oxyoron.

So what do you think about a Rozinante? Be careful with your answer.

Not a Rozinante. I hates trick questions.

It would be nice to have a boat with an outside staircase to the water.

Sorry, no idea.

I believe Doug H also added 6” to the beam.  I consider both the reworking of the mizzen and the additional beam to be very nice improvements and that it’s still a Rozinante in style, looks, character and performance.  There’s always someone who wants to pick a nit…. Doug did, and the boats are better for it.

In the words of Bill Garden: “Every boat can be improved with hindsight.”

Presumably they have their hatches on the centerline?

I'm gonna have the builder put the hatch on the high side on my next boat.

Ouch.

Guess I'm hopelessly old school.

That will look nice and balanced once it’s rigged

Lovin to get back on track with the cool boats. 

I'll see your Ovni 37 (but look up Lavranos 37 aluminum w hard dodger s/v Trance) and raise it. 

I'll raise it up to the Garcia 52.

I'll raise you to 72: Eugen Seibold
