Heather was built in Aukland NZ from native Kauri wood. In the 1960s she completed a solo crewed circumnavigation starting in Cape Town, South Africa. She was sailed to Hawaii, then sold and sailed to Port Townsend. The interior and cabin house were rebuilt by the Wooden Boat School. The current owners put heather on the hard for rot repairs to the deck, and a whole lot of fresh paint. She is in excellent condition for her age and has many voyages ahead.
