COMMENTS: SECOND WIND is one of the prettiest sailing vessels in any harbor. She is one of the renowned L. Francis Herreshoff's 28' Herreshoff Rozinantes built in 1963 by Cheoy Lee Shipyards of solid teak construction. She has had two extensive rebuilds, one in 1983, and one under her present ownership in 2017 by Rockport Marine. A new Beta diesel and 12V battery system was installed during that refit. New sails were just purchased in 2022 by Sperry Sails. SECOND WIND shows caring ownership. Her varnish, including her varnished spars are in impeccable condition. This handsome daysailer will not last long on the market. Please call us for your inspection, and thank you for your interest.
