About the boat:
The 'Callidus' was built in Essex, UK in 1953, she is a classic 40 foot wooden-built sail boat. One of the few remaining wooden vessels in England, a rare gem, from an era when yachts were honed by the hands of true craftsmen, rather than today's fiberglass assembly lines.
The Callidus is a true work of art:
