==''Lively Lady''==
After the war, Rose learned to sail in a former ship's lifeboat before buying the 36-foot cutter ''Lively Lady'' second-hand.<ref name=Herald>{{cite news|publisher=[[Herald Scotland]]|date=17 December 2007|title=Alec Rose: Solo yachtsman|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/alec-rose-solo-yachtsman-1.871010|accessdate=15 November 2014}}</ref> ''Lively Lady'' was built of [[teak]] planking on grown [[paduak]] frames. Her original design was by Frederick Shepherd, but this was substantially modified by S. J. P. Cambridge, the previous owner, who built her in [[Calcutta]], with the help of two Indian cabinetmakers. Cambridge had studied boat design during the war, and ''Lively Lady'' was basic, but sturdy and stable.<ref name="Classic Boat">{{Cite magazine |last=Rye |first=Theo |date=24 January 2017 |title=Great Yacht Designs 7 - Lively Lady |url=https://www.classicboat.co.uk/articles/design/great-yacht-designs-7-lively-lady/ |magazine=Classic Boat | access-date = 2 October 2021}}</ref><ref name=Around>{{cite web|title=Around and Around |url=http://www.aroundandaround.org/pages/aboutll.htm |accessdate=15 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204122817/http://aroundandaround.org/pages/aboutll.htm |archivedate=4 February 2015 }}</ref>

The ''Lively Lady'' came up to St Katherine Docks in London for the classic boat show there in September 2023.<ref name="Home Page - Lively Lady"/>

In the future she will be used again for getting young adults involved in sailing, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
