    Was owned in those days, by Derek Wilson of Whitburn, he owned "The Bents Garage". I had a few pleasure sailing trips with him around that time.  this is the coble that the lines were taken off for model boats plan. A few sacks of sand on the bottom boards used to help it sail easy. He always kept it as a sailiing coble ,even though he used it with the engine.
    The mast ,yard and sail were always aboard. I suppose he's now passed on, or will be a ripe old age.
