The Author has sold his Memory Rose. CSY Pilothouse Ketch-highly modified for World Cruising

Sailing Vessel Memory Rose was sold to a retired Swedish ship captain.  The vessel left the U.S. heading for a circumnavigation as per it's new owner.

Formerly, the vessel was shown at the St. Pete Sailboat and Yacht Show in St. Pete Florida and afterwards was "Featured" in a 5 page spread, in the 2015 Spring addition of Cruising Outpost magazine.  A very special yacht!

 Viewers at the show were in awe at the features, modifications and condition of the vessel and without surprise, not one comment was heard regarding the the price.. except 2, that we priced her too low.

World Cruiser, ready to go!

Memory Rose is a sailing version of a "Hummer on Steroids"... with a luxury interior.
