History:
1972 Purchased by Harold Leitstein of NYC from Cow Bay
Marine in Port Washington, L.I. named
'NOSOTROS', "ourselves alone" because he singlehanded the boat. Sold
back to Cow Bay Marine.
1984 Purchased by Jackie Ring. named 'CLADDAGH'
in honor of Jackie's Irish ancestry.. Jackie chartered
CLADDAGH (Ring Maritime
inc.) on the Hudson River from '84 till 1990 .
Shipped CLADDAGH to
Sarasota Fla. in 1990, and back to Connecticut in '93
'97/'98? Purchased by Jamie Robinson. named 'THE ROSE'
1999 I bought 'THE ROSE' in Annapolis MD,
named her 'HALO", honoring my parents (Hank&Lois). Lived aboard for
approx. 3 years. Cruised down east coast to NC, Fla, back to NC. Then south to
the Bahamas and home to NC. HALO was hauled out and transported inland to East
Bend NC in 2003. She rested on the transport trailer 'till '09. Then backed
into the "boathouse" thus beginning a 5 year (intended 2) refit. Launched into
commission in Jan. 2015 with light use until Dec. 2016. Cruised for 6
months south to Fla. and Bahamas once again!.. I have sailed 'HALO' single
handed for thousands of joyful miles and have much confidence in my
Mariner.. 'HALO' is presently in Oriental
NC. January 2018
