She was built by Brown Brothers of Balmain 87 years ago, planked with Spotted Gum below the waterline, and quarter sawn oregon above, she was built to last.
Arana is lucky enough to have had a lifetime of caring and understanding owners, she has never had a full restoration, instead each owner has done some sort of major work to maintain her condition and essence.
Going down below is like stepping back in time, her level of originality is very rare these days.
Most of her life was spent on Sydney Harbour and the New South Wales coast. She is now based in Brisbane where she enjoys the waters of the Brisbane River and Moreton Bay.

It’s great to see Arana here. I owned her her for 27 years before Tom acquired her. After sailing her up from Sydney she was kept on a mooring in Yamba at the entrance to the Clarence River in northern NSW, Australia. I wrote about the refurbishment work I did in Australian Amateur Boatbuilder magazine, and am glad Tom, a skilled boatbuilder, has become her custodian. She was a lovely ship to spend time aboard.
She’s a stunner! Perfect size, love gaff cutters, wish there was more photos!!! Congrats on such a fine little vessel! (Of course, “little” is relative, and to me in a 12’ Scamp… she’s huge!!)
