    There was another one built of this class, Sharrona - H 557 I think. I remember seeing her in FN many, many years ago.
    Anyone know what became of her ?
    There were 13 or 14 of this class built overall (9 at Harkers the rest at Hepworths). The Sharrona was I believe the last of the class built in 1980 at Hepworths, though Hull registered she was built for somewhere on the West coast of Scotland and I think was lost very shortly after being launched.

    Sharrona was built for John mcquade (Ketch) who worked her from Kirkcudbright. St Kilda arrived there as the replacement for her, after she ran aground

    also at that time was the regal star and the pickering along with the ones mentioned   :cheers:
    Ignore what I said earlier, it was Soolee painted on the boat just everytime I've seen it written down it was as Scoolee. As for the Pickering, she was haunted (allegedly I must add).
