40' Malcolm Troller (1947) - KATH-ELL

Kath-Ell was designed by C.A. Malcom and built in Gibsons, B.C. in 1947. She is planked with red cedar, has oak frames, and iron bark cap rails and guard rails. New in late 2023: Jatoba anchor guard and ice sheeting, Port Orford clear cedar bulwarks, selected red cedar fore deck planks, fore and aft deck covered with 4 coats Tuff-Flex polymer (watertight, no leaks).
