hi there
I was 1 of the chaps who bought this vessel, boy had she good lines, unfortunatelly my partner took ill and we couldnt complete works on her, and we had to burn her, quite a dry hull, even after IOW incident, had 240 volvo with 4/1 gearbox for her, but 1 night she sank in stranraer harbour
?, pumped her out took her to shore at innermessan and set her alight, sprung plank in fish hold on port side, just above c/crte ballast line (did some one scuttle her we shall never know)
