CALEDONIA

Details & photos from Richard Gordon

Caledonia was built in Auckland in 1956 as a  11 metre ketch. If you believe the old sales document (copy attached below) her designer was a gent or company called ‘Knaggs’.

Richard bought Caledonia, initially in partnership with Don Wilson in 2009. Previously Don was in partnership with Dave Johnson, these two bought the boat off trademe in approx. 2002-3. She had been kept at Milford Marina & owned by a father & son. These owners advised she was built by a father & grandfather, the GF supposedly having worked at Bailey.
Between 1984 – 1988 it looks as if she may have been based in Thames – Coromandel judging by an incomplete log book, her call sign was ZMV3644.
Richard is based in Mana, Wellington & lives aboard Caledonia & reports she is a great Cook Strait boat and Sounds boat.

Richard is interested to find out more about her history. Can anyone help or point him in the direction of someone that can?
