CADENZA

Cadenza was built in 2003 at Rockport Marine by shipwright John England from a design by L. Frances Herreshoff. The design was modified slightly by Doug Hylan to move the mizzen aft in order to make the steering more comfortable, effectively turning the original ketch sail plan into a yawl.

Cadenza is built traditionally with mahogany and cedar planking on oak frames. While the original Rozinante design was set up for rowing as auxiliary power, Cadenza has an 8 HP Yammer diesel. 

She is currently cared for by Noank Marine Services in Noank, Connecticut, which is also hone to four other Rozinantes. 

Note: Cadenza was briefly mentioned in WoodenBoat #192 in an article by Maynard Bray titled "A Quartet of Exceptional Ketches" along with the Benjamin Mendlowicz photograph included here. While Maynard credits Doug Hylan with the construction, Rockport Marine is the actual builder.
