The link is live and I just whisked my money to the UK for the Swallow.
So assuming that she costs about 3000 UK pounds to buy. Anyone who reads and understands Ransome is not likely to bid against the Trust. Have to be a right blighter, say what, to do that?
Cost is based on what it would cost in Maine to build a replacement, and if you built a replacement one could be closer to the real Swallow class.
So I will own 1.667% of the Swallow from the Movie.
Of course it is not the real Swallow class boat, but it is a good approximation.
Hopefully I can take a sail one day.
