Falanda

Classic under 40 feet

Falanda is a 26’ classic wooden Morgan Giles, built in Teignmouth in 1950 with mahogany on oak frames.

She is a West Channel One Design; as raced around the Torbay area in the 1950s/60s.

Her current owner, Katie McCabe , bought her two years ago at the age of 12 for £800 from a Cornish boatyard where she was laying abandoned full of dirty water.

After a winter of repairs, Falanda was launched again in 2020.

In company with her parents on ‘Amaryllis’, Katie then single-handedly sailed her 400 miles to the Scilly Isles and back, and subsequently in 2021 single-handedly sailed Falanda around Britain aged14.

Katie describes Falanda as the prettiest boat in the world!
