Welcome Aboard Rosanna!

Designed and built in Stonington, Maine by Arno Day, Rosanna is a 30-foot traditional plank-on-frame Lobster Boat. Now converted to a family picnic boat, she has been rechristened ‘Rosanna’ after Chad's grandmother, Jacquetta Rose, and his new bride, Anna. She is now found cruising the waters in Nantucket Harbor.
