History
The "Rosalind"
is a hundred years old, yet she is at the height of
her splendour, thanks to the advances of naval cybernetics,
having recovered her original rigging after several
previous transformations. The Rosalind has now
been a treasured part of the Godó family patrimony
for more than 50 years.
This yawl,
first launched in 1904, was designed by the architect
H. T. Stow for her first owner, Charles Hellyer, and
built by Stow & Son in Shoreham ( England
). We know she had a twin sister launched a mere two
months previously. First named Silvia , she was
later renamed Mohawk II and after a further
9 owners was acquired by the Norwegian Navy in 1953,
where she still serves as a cadet training ship.
