48' S&S Classic Yawl

"Windrose" was commissioned by Jacob Isbrandtse who requested Sparkman & Stephens design a fast and well found racer/cruiser. She was built by Derecktor Yards in Mamaroneck New York and launched in 1959. Connecticut white oak was hand picked for the frames, African mahogany and teak for the interior, 11/4 inch Honduras mahogany for the turn of the bilge. Further details available. She has an impressive history with many famous sailors who loved ocean racing having crewed on WINDROSE during her racing heyday including Steve Corkery, Wallace Tobin, Victor Romagna, Kirk Carlton, Peter O'Donnell, Dick Sargent, Bizzy Monte-Santo, Rod Stephens and Ted Hood. Her present owners, since 1980, have themselves enjoyed wonderful cruising over the years to the dream destinations of the world. It's time for WINDROSE to continue adventures with new owners.
