Rowan's Pedigree
Was she born with it?
Rowan (née Morning Call, née Magic)
Rowan came to me with a bit of history. Briefly, she was built in 1986 and spent somewhere around 16 years with her original owners in multitudes of waters including the Mediterranean! The love they showered on her shows still in a plethora of customizations which were definitely well thought out.
Then she sat on the hard as a "gonna get sailing one day" boat for a couple of years with her second owner. All I can say is, he missed out.
Her third owner stretched her legs again, taking her from Seattle to San Diego and then shipping her east to spend a few years in Long Island Sound; I found her in Rhode Island. Under his care she proved her mettle as a swift boat in a sea of solid pocket cruisers, winning some races and fancy gear in Dana meetups. She's obviously been loved and I thank everyone involved in her history for their attention to her needs.
