Chencharu is one of two Harrison Butler boats built in 1950 in Malaysia. I bought her in Australia in 1977. I circumnavigated Australia and then eventually sailed most of the Pacific, ending up on Hat Island. I recently built a new mast as the original split. I am. Currently on my way back from Hawaii. This is my second time single-handedly sailing to Hawaii and back. This is a classic wooden sailboat with a beautiful wood interior. I completely sanded and refinished the boat last year in anticipation of the trip to Hawaii when covid hit.
