Colomban

Colomban

I run the good ship Colomban a 68ft ferro sailboat, doing whale and dolphin watching charters in the Azores. Anyone know any details of her history? I believe she was built at Sete near Marseille in France, by Archambault in 1977 and had a sister of the same size. I think she was ketch rigged originally (now a schooner) and she worked in the Med and stateside as well. She was also known as Silver Shamrock for a short period in the eighties. Any info on her would be appreciated. See her on the gallery page at www.whalewatchazores.com Thanks.
