Serena Rose is one of approximately 15 boats built by Sunward Yacht Corp. in Wilmington NC, now know as Bennett Brothers. She is a true sister-ship to Walter Cronkite’s Sunward 48 “Wyntje”. Serena Rose’s hull was built in 1986 and after further refinements she was commissioned in 1992. This vessel has some of the finest hand carved woodwork and joinery ever seen on a boat her size; rich in Honduran Mahogany, Teak, Cherry and Ash. Truly a work of art and happens to be a very stable, great blue water sailing vessel.
