History

ONDINA iis an Edwardian yawl of English descent having been designed and built by Albert R Luke in 1906, sistership to Ciris.

In May 1929 ONDINA featured in an article in Yachting Monthly magazine entitled 'Down Channel in Ondina' written by her owner Percy M Holman. In the 1953 Lloyds Yacht Register she is listed as an Aux Cutter registered in Falmouth. Her rig was changed to Bermudan yawl, a doghouse was added and her counter shortened in the late 1950's. She was moved to the Netherlands and later Germany probably in 1978. About 1992 her cockpit and interior were altered but ONDINA is now being restored as far as possible to original condition.
