As promised in the last episode, here's an update with a big visual reveal of the paint scheme, marine diesel engine installation almost done, a look at the bronze work that went into the propeller shaft's strut, and more. In a future episode, we'll dive into how 3D printing has played a role in nearly all of these areas of the boat, too.
Rosalind, a vernacular working sailboat built in St. Ives by William Paynter, has had a long and well traveled life. She's being rebuilt in Mystic, Connecticut by Andrew Guest, a boatbuilder and restorer who had already been thinking about building a lugger when he found this one destined for the chainsaw in Oxford, Maryland.

It's always a joy to see Rosalind progressing so well.
That is a beautiful boat, and I love the stove. You are living the dream!
Anne is such a blessing to so many. Thank you for all you do, Anne! Great video!
Always great to see an update on this beautiful old boat!
That was a very enjoyable low key presentation. I’m a fan of the workboat approach. Best wishes with the rest of the journey. Cheers from tasmania Chris.
Great colours!
Thanks! Lovely to see the progress and Andrew.
Loving the organic approach.
Always interesting and informative etc..thanks for sharing guys!
🙂
Cheers! So glad you're here!
I like the way the horse pipe and chain locker is so far aft ...
Great progress you have made with Rosalind,.looking forward to seeing Rosalind sail into St Ives Harbour UK at some time in the future.
Great update, amazed how much space there is down below 👍
well done. I think are doing a cracking job
That's so kind, thanks so much for watching.
Love the sensible Workboat finish interior, remembering that the Exterior is Shipwright Built.
That’s a whole chunk of thinking about systems packaging out of the way for you.
Nice job, she’s coming together well.
By the way, I think the colour choices suit her well and having lived on a black boat in the Med (as engineer/deckie, in which life was good and things were not much hassle, and rigger/plumber/boatbuilder/decorator when life was not proceeding according to plan), I wouldn’t wish to repeat it.
It looked great from a rib or a waterfront bar but it cooked the hull like mad, so it sucked to be both below in the oven and topside as well, because of the superheated air that convected up from it and got drawn across the deck.
That’s quite apart from every scuff and imperfection looking way worse than reality and being immediately obvious, plus the random loss of paint adhesion after a year or so of rapidly reaching near thermonuclear surface temperatures in direct sunlight, making it expand while the hull timbers were busy shrinking to a crisp, so I’m with you all the way on that!
Good to hear from you and to see Rosalind’s progress,
Cheers from SW Cornwall and take care, R. 😎👍🍻
Thanks for sharing your experience, which means so much... it's hard to part from tradition in some cases, but if tradition could be interpreted to be more about practicality of finishes over their aesthetic appearance, your comment dings all the bells in regard to Andrew's approach. Cheers to you!

Beware of using water under pressure to flush the engine cooling system...if the engine is stopped, and the water is still filling the system, you could possibly get enough water standing in the exhaust to let it enter a cylinder (at least one exhaust valve will be open). Better to let the engine draw from a bucket; when it runs dry, use the garden hose to add some more if needed.
Thanks for the tip!
Just found your channel! Great job, totally feel you on the amount of work done and to be done but it’s looking great! Nice job
Looks good 🙂
🎉🎉🎉
Glad she's not black Andrew. Don't be shy about asking for some help with the funds. We want to see Rosalind on the water
Somebody painted my boat black and renamed her. She saw great misfortune and neglect after that. She was originally white with blue bulwarks and red bottom paint and so she will be when I'm done restoring her. She has her original name back too.
Excellent progress! Cheers to Andrew and Annie, Toby
Hiya Toby!! -Annie B
I’ve heard of holly trees planted next to houses as lightning protection. Never heard of a chunk of mulberry doing it.
So cool to hear another tradition/local suspicion!
Looking great Andrew!!
Looking good!
Lightning protection, you think of everything :)
Love your boat. Is that a declaration or a suggestion? probably both,
Hear hear. Everyone should love their boat!!
it will happen
English superstition Alder/Elder to ward off lightning , Celtic superstition Rowan to ward off evil spirits.
Thanks for sharing that!
❤
Back atcha, Herbert. Thanks so much for watching.
Bonjour Andrew,too rare
Your videos are definetely too rare and I know how difficult it s to be a shipright and a video maker.
Never mind, restoring Rosalind is the omportant thing. Lottle question, why did not you choose a propeller with folding blades ?
Bedides this, I like your color choice,
Amicalement, Raphaël
Hello Raphaël! Anne here. Those folding props are really great, and while I don't know too much about how they'd behave in an offset installation, I can say that the cost of one of them is prohibitive in this project's instance and that it's the main reason one wasn't chosen.
Should be black.
