Design 982 - Killara

Sadly we have no images of this beautiful yawl. Killara was built by Abeking & Rasmussen of Germany. She was launched in 1955. Her construction is of standard S&S scantlings: white oak for backbone and framing, and double planked in mahogany.

Here is the general arrangement plan.
