Description
Meulette may still be sailing but it is unlikely. Stolen from her Canadian owner, Dr. Corbett by Colin Sullivan in 1959, she was sailed from Barbados to Cartagena, in Columbia. Sullivan sold her on but was later aprehended and served 3 years in an English prison! The boat has not been ‘seen’ since, but the oceans are large.
