Kalistra

[PeteCooper]

Does anyone know the whereabouts or have any information about a Robert Clark design called 'Kalistra'? I think that she is about 40 feet long and bermudan rigged. Any information at all would be gratefully received.

Article is about sister ship but Kalistra is mentioned further down.

Donald I saw her in the Gareloch many years ago - is she still there?

I saw her out sailing last wednesday evening.

I think she has a mooring either at Silver's yard or up at McGruers.

When we kept the boat at Rhu she would often come in for water and diesel.

Thanks very much. My interest is that after WWII my parents and some friends chartered her on the South Coast somewhere and sailed to Cherbourg. I might take a trip from Kip up the Gareloch and see if I can find her although as I work in Dumbarton it might be easier to drive up to find her. Thanks for all your help.

She looks in good condition - though she now has metal mast and boom.

Roller reefing has blue sacrificial strip. White hull with blue eaterline. Hope this helps.

I didn't appreciate she was a Robert Clark. Must tell my Dad! Not many left around these parts.
