CALIFIA was built and launched in Oakland in 1937 by a builder named William Holly. CALIFIA is 35.5’ in length and has a beam of 9’ with a 3’ draft. She is powered by a Chrysler 318 gasoline engine. Her home port is Sausalito. The current owners bought her in 1984. They purchased her from the family of the former owner, who had owned her at least since 1947, and possibly from her date of launch. The current owners have done extensive restoration work over the years while actively cruising her in the bay and going to the delta every August.
