Canoe building plan

Design 1939 C2 Aura

We've made reference to this boat before, or at least her sister Bay Bea. I was reminded of her as we had an inquiry from the Commodore of the Royal Malta Yacht Club looking for any images we might have of her. In reviewing the files it did remind me just how well this boat did in her first four years of racing including a bullet in the 1973 Middle Sea Race. Here's a summary of her winnings.


As often is the case we find very few images of her in the files. The Commodore of RMYC was kind enough to send us this scan of the cover of the Middle Sea Race program for 1974 where they used an image of Aura taken the previous year.


Here are the plans.

Aura was built of aluminum by Palmer Johnson of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. She was launched in 1971.
