H.R.H King George V commissioned 'Al Malika' in 1933 as a gift for H.H. Sayyid Sir Khalifa II Harub, Sultan of Zanzibar. She was built by McGruer & Co Ltd in Scotland, UK as a 32.5' fast day cruiser sloop and was enjoyed by the Sultan for 25 years before being sold to Terry Griffiths in Tanganyika - the start of a long journey to Knysna in South Africa. That's where we join Dudley Isaac - Al Malika's current owner.

Dudley's dream has always been to see Al Malika sailed again. He tried to complete the restoration himself but lacked the time and expertise. As such, she has languished in various storage facilities in the Knysna area and is now being moved again. Despite his enthusiasm, Dudley is now resigned to the realisation that this restoration project needs to be undertaken by professionals and, with her current storage lease expiring imminently, he's exploring his options.

It's an interesting story - a genuine 'Barn Find' project. Can you help?

Please get in touch with Dudley directly and, if you can, please share this video to your social network
