To round off this thread: both Christina Hardyment (in Captain Flint's Trunk) and Roger Wardale (in Nancy Blackett: under Sail with Arthur Ransome) state that Racundra was found in a rundown state in Tangier harbour by Rod Pickering, an 'ocean adventurer' in 1976. He undertook a large-scale restoration, and sailed for England via the West Indies. Sadly, his voyage came to an abrupt end when Racundra foundered on a reef north of Caracas in 1978.
