Alando CK178, a Colchester Sailing Smack ex registered fishing vessel/work boat Built by the renowned barge and smack builders of their day, the Aldous Brothers of Brightlingsea. Initially she was one of a fleet of four, half decked open work boats, commissioned by a local Oysterman in 1923. Originally registered as CK1, then LO111, removed from the register in 1938. Alando was then converted into a pleasure yacht in 1938, her history is then unknown until the 1970's. When she first took part in the OGA East Coast Race in 1973, owned and restored by A R Dunnet of Chelmondiston. She has taken part in the local Smack races and Traditional sailing Regattas. Sails by James Lawrence of Brightlingsea.
Alando has spent time in Falmouth and Scotland before returning to Maldon in 2003. She was then purchased and kept on the River Medway at Gillingham, Kent.
