| Rosemary Ruth is one of Tom Colvin's Yin Yang pinky schooner designs, built of steel by McConnell Marine somewhere between 1975 and 1981. | |
 |
Rosemary Ruth was ashore for seven years during an unfinished refit when I bought her, in St. Helens, Oregon in October, 2004. This is in the Columbia River area of Oregon, which is really beautiful. | |||
 |
The boat was exceptionally well-built, which justified putting all the work that would be required into a refit of such an old boat. A great deal of labor went into the construction of this boat. | |||

 |
The forepeak (forward-most part of the interior) had been removed in preparation for modifying the chain locker and adding an anchor winch. | |||
 |
Since the chain locker had not been built, the galley was converted into a temporary chain locker, and a full barrel of 3/8" (8mm) chain was carefully laid down into the galley area and blocked off by old plywood. | |||
 |
All drawers were taped shut for shipping. | |||
