History: Our other boat Katy Rose is on a mooring near Melida and we fell in love with her as we rowed past her in the tender. Round and round we went, took photos and couldn’t resist. Of course she needs a little work and some adjustments to rig to make her true to form, but she sails very nicely as is, so we’re in no hurry.
