Maintained, restored, and upgraded by the last three owners, Rosita is ready to take the lucky buyer cruising wherever they wish. Recent upgrades include a professionally rebuilt motor, high power alternator, dual anchor windlass, sturdy roller reefing, colorful drifter, barrier coated bottom, and propane system with oven. Some may fault the laminate finished bulkheads but the interior remains in great shape for a boat of this vintage. Her sturdy, full-length keel encourages the skipper to explore those shallow protected anchorages while providing the sea-keeping ability that enabled the current owner to weather the after-effects of Hurricane Ivan with confidence. If you want a quality, classic cruising vessel, consider Rosita's specifications below.
