RON GLAS has safely arrived in Kenya and is now moored off the Kilifi boatyard. Was quite a trip, i will add a post in Technicals discussing some of the issues.
After a 6500 mile trip from Greece without the usual winter refit, Big Ron is a bit tired and in need of some cosmetic tlc, structurally as good as ever. We intend to live aboard for the next 6/12/18 months and carryout a thorough refit, with much pai nting and vanishing, both inside and out. RON GLAS is still looking for a new custodian in the longer term, but no rush...... It's finding the right people to ensure the boat continues to be looked after and cruised.
To those 3 or 4 folk who are keen (you know who you are!) and anyone else interested, I would point out that this boat is only really suitable for the Intensely practical, there is always some woodwork, rigging, engine maintainance electrics and do..... It's just the story of a hard sailed, nearly 50 year old boat!! We love it but there will come a time when our other interests will need the same input!
Having said that the boatyard is excellent with good craftsmen at low rates so any major works could be done in beautiful Kilifi.
We still want to fit in a cruise to Zanzibar and Madagascar. Sorry to be so uncertain, but it's the boats best interest we are concerned about, it's not just a simple matter of sell and move on.
If after that negative sell you are still interested best contact is email
