Rosita

I bought Rosita in February, 2003, in Hilton Head, SC. She is a 36 foot fiberglass ketch built in 1976 by Allied Wright Co. I enjoyed sailing her around the SC barrier islands for two years and then took a four month cruise down to the Keys and up to Sarasota. She spent 18 months in storage at Cuts Edge Marina in Palmetto while we were in California. In March, 2007, we moved her to a slip in Tarpon Springs. Over the summer we moved her around the tip of Florida and up to Jacksonville, FL. She has a newly rebuilt Perkins 4-108 now and runs great.

Rosita was sold in February, 2008, to a nice fellow from Virginia.

The boats by Allied Boat Co. are a good buy on the used market. They are solidly built with good basics and no extreme design features. They will be around for a long time. You can find more info below and at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alliedboatco/

A terrific presentation of what the boat has been, is and could be. I have never visited such an entertaining site and story. Apart from peaking my interest in the boat , it leaves me thirsting for the sequel....... Ray

...I almost bought this boat, probably sometime before you bought her. At the time, I thought it to be a bit over priced with many projects remaining, including the replacement of the original fuel tank... You've done a beautiful job so far, may want to take a second look... P.S. great website!

That's a pretty boat! I would consider buying her, but I already have too many boats. Good luck on the sale. I'm sure you will find a buyer for her.
