N1297 - Boat free on loan to a good home

Hello,
I own N1297, a 1955 clinker Jack Holt.  I'm an RAF Pilot and have received notice of a posting to the British Embassy in Washington DC departing in July.  She's too big for my family to store but it would be a shame to sell - despite the fact that we haven't recently done any sailing.
I wonder if any bona fide vintage lovers would consider loaning N1297, free of charge, for 2 or maybe 3 years to enjoy at their leisure - on the proviso, in good faith, that I can potentially recover the boat and road trailer on my return from the USA in 2016/2017.
Alloy mast, wooden boom, suit of sails, bouyancy....it's all there!  Just arrive at RAF Benson OX10 6SD and collect.
I'd prefer that this treasure was kept by someone who would look after her rather than stick her on ebay for a quick sale.
Let me know 12 lovers....all I ask is for the odd photo of N1297 doing what she should be doing.
