Raffles Light
this message is for Bobsprit
In the early 60s, I crewed and later skippered a 67' ketch (Raffles Light) owned, at the time, by Clarence H. Thayer (Sr VP of Sun Oil). I joined the crew in the Canaries and we sailed to the Caribbean eventually mooring in the US Virgin Islands. In doing a Google Search I noticed that in 2004 you had posted information referencing Raffles Light. I was supposed to sail her to Chesapeake Bay but a motorcycle accident rendered me "out of my commission". As far as I know "Raffles" did eventually finds its way to continental USA. Mr. Thayer died many years ago and, nearly four decades later I am now trying to track down the boat's whereabouts and owner.
I am wondering if you (or anyone else reading this thread) might have a link to the current owner is and/or the current home of this beautiful vessel.
Thanks in advance.
