Colleen Class
The Colleen is a one-design wooden sailing keelboat originally designed for sailing in Dublin Bay, Ireland.
It was designed for the Dublin Bay Sailing Club in 1896 by James E. Doyle, Dublin's leading yacht designer and builder.[1] The class stopped sailing in Dublin Bay in the early 1900s. After class racing finished in Dublin Bay many of the boats were shipped out to Argentina where the class thrived into the 1960s.
Yachting historian Hal Sisk built the replica "Colleen Bawn" in 2003 - in glass-reinforced plastic.
