Xanadu / Tern IV

[Suffolk_Newbie]

I’m watching the final series of Howards’ Way and wondered, out of curiosity, whether anyone knows the current situation of the boat used as Xanadu?

As I understand it from this ‘Wooden Boat’ forum post in 2008, the boat was actually Tern IV ((The Life and Times of Claud Worth - The WoodenBoat Forum), she appears to have travelled to the Pacific but I wondered whether she was still thriving?

Does anyone know of her history since 2008 and where she is now?

You're brave, watching Howards' Way again, it was like Acorn Antiques Afloat back in the day (I think it was known as Soap on a Rope)

It seems that Tern IV has yet another incarnation and is now Lucky Lady, and if Sandeman's write-up is correct, she is or was for sale in Thailand and a snip at £425K.

I've been watching whilst on the treadmill in the gym. It's easy watching and the first time for me...

I've no idea whether the price is right for her but she's a beauty and the history of her is fantastic.

Nice pics. Looks as if the rig has been drastically cut down, no top mast and the cosmetic "main sail" not much bigger than a storm trisail without reef points. A pity, hope a new owner can bring her back as a real sailing yacht.

She was working in the crewed charter yacht field in the Grenadines in the early 70's - I have a Stevens charter catalogue from back then (somewhere.... it might turn up again......) and she was in it then.
