HOWB 042 – Darryl Carver, Owner of L. Francis Herreshoff designed ’28 Rozinante Wooden Canoe Yawl Interview - 07.05.12

This week I attended the Center for Wooden Boats 36th Annual Festival and interviewed Darryl Carver. Darryl and his wife have owned “Dulcinea” (nick named “Roz”) – a ’28 L. Francis Herreshoff designed “canoe yawl” since 1999 and are her 3rd owner since she was built in 1983 by Hank Chamberlain on Lopez Island, WA.

L. Francis first wrote about this style of boat in Rudder Magazine after seeing Canoe Yawl style boats around Cape Cod, and was encouraged by the magazine’s readers to design the boat. L. Francis put the design to pencil in his book – The Complete Cruiser.

Roz is a simple but elegant mahogany on oak, ketch rigged beauty. Listen to the full interview for all the details.
