Clarionet – Sailing Sunday

Today’s woody is the Chappelle designed schooner- Clarionet, seen here early one morning in Whangamumu, Northland getting ready to get underway.

The photo was taken in 2011 by Dan Wright.
I understand these days she calls Mahurangi home.

  4. I’ve admired this design since I first saw it in Chapelle’s “Yacht Designing and Planning” nearly 60 years ago. “Clarionet” Is exquisite; you’d be hard put to find a prettier boat of this size and type
