ROSIE is a traditional style ketch built out of sheet plywood which makes for easy construction. The craft features an unstayed rig for ease of rigging and the rig gives great flexibility of sail plan. The craft can be sailed on the main and mizzen, the main, or the mizzen replacing the main forward. The tandem c/bs allow the craft to be easily balanced regardless of the sail plan and with the c/b down, down wind performance is exceptionally good because of the balance of the craft. Rosie features a double ballast tank amidships which gives the craft excellent stability and there are buoyancy tanks in the bow and stern to give positive flotation. Hull speed is easily achieved using a 2 1/2hp outboard motor.

The plan features FULLSIZE TEMPLATES of the frames, stem and transom as well as detailed drawings and written instructions.
