History

MOLITA was originally designed as a gaff cutter, but was converted to a ketch in 1936, although always remaining a private yacht. Most of her life has been spent on the west coast of Scotland, except for a time prior to the Second World War when she was based in Malta. She is currently in good condition and, in 2001, the steel floor fastenings under the mast-step were replaced. All her keel bolts have also been replaced.
