Bona LO178 is a 36ft Aldous bawley built in 1903.

Colne Match results;

Bona was extensively rebuilt in the 1990s by Ian Smith and regularly participated in events on the East Coast of England, showing a surprising turn of speed on all points of sail.

She is now under new ownership and is still kept in immaculate condition with her new custodian.
