Schooner Malcolm Miller

[Greenheart]

Thanks for that information, Wklein. Any chance of some background on when she left Falmouth, and who owns her now, and what the plan is for her?

Malcolm Miller is en route to Plymouth (eta 19.30 today) & on to Falmouth then the Mediterranean - she has had an extensive refit in Poland & looks magnificent!!

Photos, photos please!

No idea how to put them on! But if you go to: fleetmon.com & click on top left then on search & put in Malcolm Miller you can track her + get 7 brilliant photos in Kiel canal

There is a painful video of the refit here http://vimeo.com/103060035 but it goes blank for me after 5 minutes.

The video went blank for me too.Early in the video,the 'accomodation' had 'round' doors.Also I could'nt see any rivits on the hull.Is this definatly the MM,and not the SWC?Please help me eradicate my ignorence.(well,at least in this matter)
Cheers

Boat is in Plymouth but not for long due to the unseasonal easterly winds they are keen to head south. Boat is incredible and very quick.

This video is definitely the MM: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TkeYHathmyk

I had no luck with the video, but there are a couple of nice small pictures from recent days, here: http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?415017-Malcolm-Miller

She looks terrific. I'm glad she has retained conventionally-furled sails rather than installing in-mast furlers. I daresay the masts are original and wouldn't accommodate rollers.

Looks like a very happy ending, after a long period of doubt.
