This Rosborough Privateer is a stunning vessel and shows as well maintained. The design is by Jim Rosborough of Nova Scotia. As far as is known, this was the only such boat built outside of Nova Scotia and is one of only three on the west coast now. Built in 1986 by the late Jim Omondson, a shipwright in Lake Oswego, Oregon who was a perfectionist –– the craftsmanship and design of are top quality throughout. The hull design features a long, straight keel with skeg-hung rudder and a well-protected 3-blade bronze propeller.

The Rosborough has a large aft deck with wide side decks for easy access to the foredeck. The pilothouse has doors port and starboard. The foredeck also has ample deck space for kayaks and seating. Overall, the exterior appears well kept.




In 2001, the survey estimated a market value of $160,000 and a replacement value of $350,000.

One enters the boat through doors on either side of the central pilothouse and three steps down. The pilothouse includes the galley with a gimballed stove/oven fueled by propane, a Norcold refrigerator with freezer, and a double stainless sink. An L-shaped dinette converts to a double berth. The interior navigation station includes a bench, chart rack, chart table and night reading light. Behind the interior pilothouse stairs is access to two large storage spaces extending under the exterior walk-arounds and are the length of the pilothouse.

Enter the salon through a companionway and 3 steps down. An elevated daybed with transom and porthole views pulls out to an extra-large double berth. Mahogany end tables/storage boxes grace each end of the daybed. A semi-circle settee seats six comfortably and eight if necessary. A half circle table mounts for the settee but has stowage allowing for open space. A hanging locker plus shelving and a set of drawers are starboard of the companionway. On the port side is an enclosed head with composting toilet, sink, cupboards, mirror and a hot-water-on-demand system. The salon has a radio/CD and speaker system.

The forward cabin includes a large v-berth, a large starboard-side pullman berth, built in drawers and shelving with an open hanging locker, and six cupboards with cane doors. The forward head includes a marine, manual toilet, a sink, a hot-water shower, drawers and a cupboard. Headroom is 6’10”. The forward cabin is accessed through a companionway from the pilothouse with four stairs. The stairs hinge and open into access to the very large engine room.

The headroom, spacious interior and light distinguish this Rosborough from most sailboats. Headroom is 6’5” in the pilothouse and salon and 6’10” in the bunk/v-berth cabin. Ceiling hatches fore and aft and windows surrounding the salon and pilothouse allow natural light and view from the interior. Ceiling hatches above the pilot house doors slide open for air, light, and room. Most of the upholstery and all the mattresses (now latex) and floors (parquet and carpet) were replaced in 2007.The salon has a wall-mount Sigmar diesel heater. Under way, a hot water forced air heater heats fore and aft cabins.
