CLASSIC AUSTRALIAN WOODEN MOTOR BOAT – CAMIRA

As a result of the story during the week on the Australian motor-sailer MID PACIFIC, WW was contacted by Sydney WW reader Blue Edmonds who sent in todays photos of the 1956 woody – CAMIRA.

Blue commented that CAMIRA was designed by the same gent, Norman Wright & Son as MID PACIFIC. Her builder was Jack Clark.

Some specs – 40’ x 12’6” x 4’. Forward motion is from a Perkins M135 + her sloop sail rig.

There is an impressive fleet of these motor boat / sailers cruising up and down the eastern coast of Aust., keen to learn more about them.
