Another derivative of Andrillot’s hull design but with shorter overhangs and larger all round, she has a pronounced and distinctly attractive sheer. She was built for Major Windeler in Lymington 500 yards from Giles’ offices at 4 Quay Hill.
Kalliste was described in Yachting World magazine of that year as ‘hefty’, ‘designed as a cruising boat to take the roomiest possible cabin planning for her size’. But for all her heavy displacement she was no sluggard and in one of her first season races; the Island sailing Club’s Cowes to Poole event run under Royal Ocean racing Club (R.O.R.C.) rules she won very comfortably, beating both Prelude (design number 0035) and Motihari III (design number 0034).
Her second owner took her to the Vancouver area of Canada where we believe she remains. The construction arrangements were used on several of Giles’ contemporary yachts including as the basis for the structure of Arthur Ransome’s Peter Duck (design number 0054) and the Peter Duck class. Twenty years after Kalliste the design was used again for Mr Angus’ Madalaine (design number 0419) built at Mashfords yard.
