Search for historic yacht “La Goletta”

I was on youtube and came across the story of the only other yacht that finished the 1927 (3rd) Fastnet race. It was a slightly larger yacht that finished 20-30 min. ahead of Tally Ho. Tally Ho, was declared the winner based on whatever coefficient they had at that time. Tally Ho is undergoing a complete restauration (more of a rebuild) by Leo of Sampson Boat
https://sampsonboat.co.uk/

The video about La Goletta is here


There is now a search ongoing for La Goletta in the hope of a remake of the 1927 Fastnet race between these 2 yachts. What I understand from her whereabouts (from the youtube video) it that she went to the Caribbean and hit a reef or rock.

Attached is a screencopy I made from the video. The link under the video sends to Instagram where I have no access.

Anybody has any info?

Re: Search for historic yacht “La Goletta”

The boat's name is spelled "La Goleta" which means schooner in Spanish. Perhaps that will help with the search.
