Hello! Looking for my grandfathers old boat!

Hello all!

I wasn't entirely sure where to look or even ask, my grandfather passed away when is young, and at the time his boat was in Greece. She was a Ta chiao 41 called "lady mine"

I have fond memories of being 10 or 11 with my dad and grandad sailing around the Greek Islands on her. She was sold when he passed away. I have searched the Internet for ages looking for her and I have seen posts that she underwent a refit in 2014 and was sold under the same name.

My question was if anyone had seen her/ knew the owner. I would never be able to afford her myself but I always wondered if she was still around. The only pictures I have of me and my grandad is on board her so it would be nostalgic to see pictures of her now.


Hopefully I haven't posted in the wrong section and thanks for reading.

Welcome to the forum. If you knew the hull number or where the hailing port was, that might make it easier.

Unfortunately I don't know the Hull number at all. I know she was in lefkas Greece when she was sold and was still there in 2014 when she had her refit but that is where my trail runs cold I'm afraid.
