Early 1980' New
owner, Mr Pile, based in Dun Laoghaire
Comment from Facebook (2024), Stephen Pile "My Dad bought her
in early 80s and she was kept in Dun Laoghaire. We cruised her along West coast
of France in Summer '83. She had a yellow sistership ( Puffin.....) from Wales
we raced against in ISORA."
1983 Summer, cruising along West coast of France
2015 July,
from Vincent, in Howth Marina, County
Dublin: "Currently being restored with new windows,
plywood decks etc. She is being prepared as a cruising boat."
2024 February, new owner
Comment annd pictures from Facebook "It
was with mixed emotions that we watched the HYC Marina team lift the late Brian
Murphy's wooden sloop Karena for the last time. Brian was a hugely committed
member of HYC serving as Rear Commodore in 2013 and he is sadly missed by the
sailing community. We are pleased to say that Karena has now passed into new
ownership with the intent to restore her to her former glory. We look forward
to seeing the rejuvenated Karena coming back to visit after the work on it is
complete, no doubt providing an opportunity to reminisce about Brian."
