V7 KAWAN

Kawan was built by Woodnuts, who went on to build several more Vertues at St. Helens on the Isle of Wight.  She was sailed across the Atlantic before continuing to Tahiti in the early 1970’s.  From there she continued westwards across the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea where she was lost in 1975.
