ARANA was built in Balmain, Sydney by the well know boatbuilders Brown Brothers. She was launched in 1934 and is constructed of douglas fir planking over bent spotted gum frames. She was raced and cruised on Sydney Harbour and Pittwater for many years, before sailing to Yamba where she was based for 20 years.
She came to Brisbane in 2019 and since then has had a thorough overhaul over the years. Underwood’s Marine were engaged to repower her, replace the transom, sheath the decks, recaulk the hull, rerig her, replace planks, replace fastenings and a complete exterior refinish.
