History
From CYAA Magazine, issue 33:
Christela returns home by John Devers
Noted designer Frederick Parker was managing the Woodnutt yard at St Helens on the Isle of Wight in 1960 and 1961,during which time he supervised the construction of two boats built to the same set of Frederick Parker plans.
Yard numbers 914 (Tien Ho) and 915 (Christela) were built and launched within a month of each other in June/July 1961. Each of these boats has had a most fascinating life in the more than 50 years since that time.
