The &quot;P&quot; following the first name is said to refer to the initial of the Patrice family, a family of shipwrights and sailors from the village of Windward, on Carriacou Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to some sources, her name is also spelled Rosalina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover the family of its manufacturer: <a href=\"\/en\/charpentiers\/famille-patrice\/\">The Patrice family<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windward&#039;s smallest sloop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In July 2005, the British magazine Classic Boat published a report by journalist Dan Houston on Carriacou sloops. He recounts a fishing trip described by <a href=\"\/en\/alexis-andrews\/\">Alexis Andrews<\/a>, aboard Rosalina. Alexis Andrews is the owner of <a href=\"\/en\/charpentiers\/genesis\/\">Genesis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 28 feet, Rosalina was then the smallest sailboat in Windward&#039;s fleet. Three boats set off together for Sail Rock, an isolated rock about fifteen miles east of the Tobago Cays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once ashore, the crew reefed the mainsail, backed the jib, and secured the tiller. The boat remained at a standstill for hours. The men cut up a small local fish for bait and fished with bottom lines weighted with pieces of iron: butterfish, groupers, and snappers. On the return trip, the catch was given to a middleman, also on a Windward boat, but equipped with a diesel engine. He put the fish on ice and went to sell it in Martinique, where he got the best price. Each of the four men kept a fish for his dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We hove to for hours, pulling in butterfish, grouper, hind and snapper. The four of us got back smelling of bait, and we had kept a fish each for supper.<\/p>\n<cite>Alexis Andrews, quoted by Dan Houston, Classic Boat, July 2005<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2007: A victory at the Carriacou Regatta?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the 2007 Carriacou Regatta Festival, in the small decked sloop class, first place went to a boat named Rosalina, skippered by Petroc Patrice. The Caribbean Compass report does not specify the boat&#039;s length or builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosalina is another spelling of the name Rosealyna P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What remains to be found<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The year of construction, home port, successive owners, and current condition of the boat remain unknown.
