The ultimate classic yacht with some extreme modern techniques resulted in the D&D 43’, a pure 100% Dutch built Yacht.

This foam cored composite hull structure features some modern esthetical aspects. Her negative bow will tend to speak of modernity but on the contrary we have seen these extremities centuries ago in naval warfare. With her custom made carbon rig this yacht is showing with her beautiful extra long overhangs an era of racing almost forgotten. The hull structure and 90% of her other hardware are constructed of materials which do not need so much maintenance as her older counterparts. This results in a considerate amount of annual cash-flow less in expenses. These are calculated to be approx. 90% less under normal circumstances. Only 5 months are needed to build the whole project from A-Z.

The deck layout of this yacht reminds us of the classics from the 19th century. The twist to bring her back to the future is choosing a relative modern look by keeping all decks painted cloud white contrasting with the polished custom made stainless steel deck parts, winches and tiller. The main goal is to see less materials.

When you will see her at the docks or under sail you will think she is an old beauty with a modest modern taste. She will have an IRC rating Certificate and is intentionally developed for the Spirit of Tradition races in the Med, Caribbean and North America.

Her design and newly created lines have been inspired by many yachts favoring the Scandinavian skerry cruisers, all metre class designs, hull shape of America’s Cup Yachts around 2003, Herreshof designs, Fife designs and some local Dutch lake sailing yachts. Her lines plan was created by studying all of these yachts. Drawn by hand and later faired with the aid of CAD design software. Normally today designers tend to create their lines direct from their computer.

I insisted to draw them the old fashioned way.

Inside the cockpit there are a few modern systems. You will find the Ipod dock, waterproof electrical switches for the Tack Tick wireless navigation instruments, engine panel, voltage/fuel indicators, shore power and the engine drives. Underneath the cockpit lies the smallest and sleekest 13hp Lombardini sail-drive you can find on the market today.

The forward port-side cockpit locker is arranged as a100 liters fridge. On the starboard side a bunk is reserved for keeping personal stuff dry and safe. Other bunks are cleared for fenders and lines storage and much more. If these ones are full there is still more storage spaces in the lazarette. Due to her low freeboard and fine underbody she has just the space inside to store all sails and lines accessed by the flush deck hatch in front of the mast. After a night in town one can fall easily asleep inside the bow on the sailing bags. Picking up her shiny stainless steel tiller you can sail away with style and navigate without much to think about with just a great tune, sea, wind and friends.

• Once in the harbor you can leave her stern to with the covers over her sails.
• You can also decide to dismantle her just in an afternoon at the nearby shipyard.
• Her keel, rudder, mast, boom and bow sprit all come off with ease.
• When ready all materials including the hull will be rolled on her own trailer into a 45ft pellet wide sea container. Ideal for winter storage!
• Perhaps you are already thinking for a double season in the Med/Caribbean. Ready to be moved all over the world wherever and whenever you want.

Rugosa Listing

 

Historical:

“If only my grandfather knew that 90 years after he built this boat, his grandson would be racing it.”

Halsey Herreshoff comments – RUGOSA was built yawl rigged in 1926, and is the most original preserved of all NY 40s with original spars, deck houses and below arrangement. She enjoys a remarkable chain of racing success and very outstanding extensive cruising of the entire East Coast of the USA, Caribbean, Sweden and much of the Baltic, western European coast, Mediterranean and many transatlantic crossings.

I have owned and sailed RUGOSA for 30 years, deriving incredible pleasure in cruising and sharing distinct satisfaction along with my entirely amateur crew for racing successes. Most significant was the victory of RUGOSA over 57 other classic yachts, largely from Europe, in the 2001 America’s Cub Jubilee week-long regatta at Cowes, Isle of Wight, England.

 

New York 40 Class

Rugosa II one of the famous Herreshoff New York Yacht Club 40’s known as the “Fighting Forties.” Casper Whitney, in the August 1901 issue of Outing magazine referred to “That Herreshoff Characteristic of Passing Unperturbed Through Agitated Waters” – summing up the sentiment of most who have either seen or sailed these aristocratic thoroughbreds. Edwin J. Schoettle described the New York 40’s as “excellent, heavy-weather boats, having an ability to withstand all kinds of rough handling, both by men and weather.” Mr. Schoettle further commented, “I have been told that a 40 has never been seen reefed.”

Historical:

This is one of the most popular small cruising boat designs, and with good reason. She features a relatively light and very sleek hull form compared to English canoe yawls, and her hull lines are regarded by many as some of the most beautiful ever drawn, in any genre.

At 3’9” her draft is more than most canoe yawls of her size, giving her greater power to carry sail. She has a correspondingly large rig to push her along well in light air, as befits a boat that was originally intended to be engineless. A great performer in a wide range of wind strengths, she is regarded as an exceptionally sweet-sailing boat. For cruising, she features a snug cabin just large enough to provide honest sleeping and seating comfort for two people.

Her large, deep cockpit offers unusually comfortable day sailing for a crowd, and is especially safe and secure-feeling, making it ideal for timid passengers or small children. With a boom tent the cockpit can become part of the overnight accommodations. The ketch rig allows many tricks of balancing and maneuvering, which are part of the fun of sailing without an auxiliary, and allows a quick reduction of sail while retaining full control, through dropping the mainsail while retaining the jib and mizzen—a reassuring thing for a family or a singlehander, in a sudden squall. Like all canoe yawls she is intended to be rowed, when there is no wind or when maneuvering in close quarters, and it is surprising how a boat like this will in fact move along quite well under oars in still water.

For purists the simplicity, economy, silence, and cleanliness of the oars will be part of the idea. It is also possible to fit a small auxiliary engine, and many boats have been built this way. For one of the best design commentaries ever written, see Herreshoff’s decription of Rozinante in his book, Sensible Cruising Designs.

Rozinante is covered from pages 500 to 518 in the book L. Francis Herreshoff VOL 2

From page 518:

“On one overnight run Down Set to Tenants Harbor, Maine, from Marblehead, Brendze found himself, during the long night watch, among a pod of whales. Luckily, he didn’t bump into any. When he related the experience to Skipper, Francis said if it happened again, he should warn the leviathans of his presence by lifting a floorboard and tapping on a keel boat with a penny. Common sense.

Brendze often felt Skipper’s presence on board his Rozinante. When the boat drew admiring attention, Brendze found it hard to say thank you, because he didn’t really feel it was his boat. Skipper said, “Oh, you have my permission.”

Is there an Rozinante org. or club of any kind presently. I am restoring a Kenner
hull.

Thank you, Don

James & Son – Hull Material: Wood – In service: – Out of service: – National Register Number: 97001278

 

Historical:

Roseway was designed as a fishing yacht by John James and built in 1925 in his family’s shipyard in Essex, Massachusetts. Father and son worked side by side on Roseway, carrying on a long New England history of wooden shipbuilding. She was commissioned by Harold Hathaway of Taunton, Massachusetts, and was named after an acquaintance of Hathaway’s “who always got her way.”

Roseway appeared in a 1977 television remake of Rudyard Kipling’s “Captains Courageous” featuring Karl Malden. And she is now believed to be one of only six Essex-built Grand Banks fishing schooners left in existence.

 

WWII service

In the spring of 1942, Roseway was fitted with a .50-caliber machine gun and assigned to the First Naval District (New England). All lighted navigational aids along the coast were turned off during the war, and it was up to the Pilots and Roseway to guide ships through the minefields and anti-submarine netting protecting the harbor. At the end of the war, the Coast Guard presented a bronze plaque to the pilots in honor of Roseway‘s exemplary wartime service.
