The Rollins 56 is a beautiful Alden-style staysail schooner, perfect for comfortable and elegant cruising. It features a classic design with modern amenities.
Design & Layout: The owner aimed for a blend of elegance and comfort, resulting in a traditional staysail schooner with a long waterline and low profile trunk cabin.
Hull Construction: The hull is built with watertight compartments for added safety. Timber fittings and all fastening and bedding materials that went into this hull are of exceptional high quality. The hull is constructed atop a one piece white oak keel with black locust timbers and fitted up to comprise a three piece stem assembly, sternpost and horn-timber.
Attached to the keel is a single piece molded 20,000 lb lead ballast bolted with sets of 1.5" bronze bolts.
White oak framing with vertical grain Douglas Fir planking 6" to 8" wide. This construction method yields a stiff and stable hull. The transom is planked with black locust over locust frames.
The rudder is sternpost hung and built with a combination of locust and teak with custom Rollins bronze aperture that protects the leading edge of the rudder and provides rigidity.
Interior
Interior joinery work is exceptional in both the level of workmanship and selection of woods. The doors and cabinet faces are frame and panel are select cherry and curly cherry finished bright in high gloss marine varnish. Overhead house beams, deck beams and Carlin caps are black locust and cherry finished bright with white for contrast.
The cabin soles are planked up of solid teak with raised holly seams. There are lift out hatches along the centreline for access to tanks, through hulls and system components.
The boat has been well cared for by its owner since build and is currently in the yard undergoing painting, varnishing and other works.
