"Cooee" is an outstanding piece of Maritime history, she is a gaff-topsail cutter built in Auckland by the legendary Bailey Bros in 1894 for snapper fishing. She raced during and after her fishing years then was set up for recreational sailing in the 1930s. Thanks to enduring timbers and strong work boat construction she has survived in amazing condition and circumnavigated the world between 1983 and 1996.An October 2022 survey declared her sound. Cooee won Best Boat in Cape Town's classic boat show of 1993 and will continue to stun anchorages and boat shows for her next century.
The essence of "Cooee" is her simplicity & the strength of her build. She is in fine shape, Jill, her current custodian has decided to move on after many years & many nautical miles around the Globe.
