Where's the 3rd 31' Southern Cross Ketch?

Hi all.

I have a mystery I need help solving.

I am trying to find the missing 31' Southern Cross Ketch made by CE Ryder, Corp in Bristol RI sometime from the late 70's through the early 80's.

According to Sail Data (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/southern-cross-31 ), they built 150 31' SC's.

The SCOA (Southern Cross Owners Assoc.) says that of those 150, 3 were Ketches.

I know where 2 are;

A captain in ME has s/v 'Gwynpennon' (hull #94 built in 12/79), up for sale; Southern Cross Owners Association - SC31 Gwynpennon For Sale.

I have one of her sisters; s/v 'Our Clime' (Hull #57 built in 07/78), down in Key Largo. She is currently undergoing refitting.

But I haven't been able to locate their sibling; the 3rd and missing 31' SC Ketch.

Do any of you know the where abouts of this Vessel? Or even have any good recommendations on how to enhance my search?

I am posting the same query on the SCOA board as well. But this is a large community that sees and hears much.

Just curious and would like to know the full tale of these 3 ladies.

Thanks all for any information, thoughts, or ideas.

Fair winds and following seas.

Hi Lars;

Thanks for the reply! That is interesting. It may actually have been the one I now own. She has a Green hull and unfortunately is in need of some TLC. She is getting it now. Over the next few years I plan on giving her a complete refit.
