LIGHT BREEZE
LIGHT BREEZE is a development of L. Francis Herreshoff’s well-loved Rozinante design.
She carries the same yawl rig we designed for RED HEAD, in order to move the mizzen out of the cockpit.
LIGHT BREEZE’s beam and draft were also increased slightly to increase her stability and make her a bit more user-friendly.
LIGHT BREEZE was built with the finest materials: clear vertical-grain Atlantic cedar strip-planking over black locust steam-bent frames and white oak backbone.
