Castle Vale


Castle Vale

sunk at Dumbarton 2 - July 2006



    Dave,

    This one is the Castle Vale 65ft built I thing Herd and Mackenzie, she finished life converted, her 8L3 was out of her when she was bought buy the Cavins of Dumbarton who put a Foden in her vastly under powered with a tiny prop had to cut some of the dead wood away to stop cavitation.  They should have taken the Kromhout we put in the Golden West would have been a great match, she was in great condition though when they had her.  Dont know who owned her when she sank. Somewhere near her is the Myosotis.
