I'm a wee bit dubious about the "C" in this - according to Racundra's First Cruise, Racundra was in build, in her shed, when the Ancient Mariner first saw her, and asked Ransome to be included on any voyages. Would she not have had her name by this point - even, perhaps, while still on paper in the year or so from her designer finishing work?
Meanwhile, I suspect they'll be lots more questions from me about Racundra: I've scanned and scaled up the plans from Racundra's Third Cruise, and I'm starting a 1/8th scale model of the ship. More news on this over the next few weeks.
