Damien Enright. Quixotic Rocinante tilts at fair harbour in La Gomera

The owners of Rocinante, a 17m long ketch, asking price €50,000, are a rum crew, with a story behind them, writes Damien Enright.

The boat, a slim and pretty ketch, built in Sweden in 1985, sits moored at the harbour wall in Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera, along with half a dozen similar-sized boats of character.
