1935 COLUMBIA RIVER ONE DESIGN 28'. Known affectionately as CRODs, the sailboat pictured above is Hull #5 and was originally named DORLA, now ANTIKI. Owner says, "ANTIKI, 1935 Columbia River One Design 28' racing and cruising sloop, clear fir planks on sawn oak frames, shoal draft, swing keel, 40' mast, auxiliary inboard power, 344 sq. ft. sail area, Bermuda rig. Sleeps 4. Only 12 hulls built to Joe Dyer design commissioned in 1934 by the Columbia River Yachting Association, raced as a class from '30s-'60s, first owned and raced by Harry Clow of the Portland Yacht Club. Just six hulls survive. Reasonable restoration project for devoted amateur. I have all of the detail plans, including a few extra that the original designer did for modification." Jared at [deleted].

Update 1/29/2010 #1:

I have wanted one of these for years, and just missed one last year the Center for Wooden Boats was selling. Due to their limited availability, and delightful performance through the water, I wish to restore one to their original specs. I live in Tacoma, WA, and can pick the boat up next weekend if it is still available. Thank you.

David, I'd like to thank you for your timely response. Jared and I are now in contact, and I'll be collecting hull # 4 next Friday. Another sacred piece of maritime history saved from the saw! If interested, we'll keep you updated on her restoration.

I brought ANIKKI home yesterday. Her restoration will not begin immediately, but I will periodically update you on her progress. She will return to her original configuration as well as her original name. Thank you for helping save an important piece of our maritime history.
