5.5 KA-17 - 25.07.2010 by Hugh Ferrar: Jabiru was beautifully made of Honduras Mahogany. She is now sadly deceased, having been struck on her mooring one night in 2008 (?), and sinking pretty quickly.
5.5 KA-17 Jabiru - correction - 25.07.2010 by Hugh Ferrar: Apologies. The earliest rating certificate I have is dated February 1967, not 1964.
5.5 KA-17 - 25.07.2010 by Hugh Ferrar: Completed in February 1964. The rating certificate of that date notes the name as "Vanessa" and owner as L. Easy, of Sydney.
She was still called "Vanessa" in January 1974, when the owner was M. Clark.
