@Emmanuel - belatedly noting that the answer was with my photos of 2014: "Owned since 1997 by Ted and Melody Morgan-Busher and based at Sliema."

Melody certainly seems a formidable lady:

If Wikipedi is to be believed (a big 'ask' for some!)she may be under the same ownership since 1997 (no change noted) in which case they must be doing something right as she is obviously sea-worthy and mobile after 18 years and two Trans-Atlantic runs!

Some more info on AMAZON:In 1900 she was sold and renamed doe a time ARMORICAIN. In 1937 she was converted to diesel. In 1968 she was bought by the actor Arthur Lowe (Capt. MAannering of TV's Dads Army) as a house boat, but later made ready for sea as private yacht , then for charter business. Regards.

Hear, hear, Emmanuel.
I hope her current owners have deep enough pockets for maintenance, and a healthy reserve fund for when something major needs doing.

Thanks for positive comments regarding this queen of 130 years.Even when I was born this beauty was already a veteran at 60.I hope that when her sailing days are over she will be preserved as befitting to her age and beauty.Regards.
