Synopsis
One afternoon in 1997, an unsuspecting Jim Spaulding arrived home from work to learn that his wife Cheryl had "rescued" a dilapidated 25-foot, galf-rigged sloop from a date with the incinerator. Over the next six years, the Spauldings, along with a colorful cast of family and friends, faithfully restored the Atkins-design Rose to its original beauty. This is their engaging story. Arranged chronologically, the tale of Rose culminates with the maiden voyage of the restored vessel on the Chesapeake Bay, but not before readers are treated to an entertaining and illustrated journey through the entire restoration process. While most of the story takes a "how they did it" approach, several sections explain unique tasks in the restoration. The comprehensive treatment is illustrated with dozens of photographs and detailed drawings. All of these technical details are told in Spaulding's self-effacing voice and presented in the context of anecdotal stories and interesting characters who include a laidback ship's carpenter, a crusty gunnery sergeant, a mast-shimmying sailmaker, and the motley crew of the Bay Boat works on the Chesapeake Bay.
