    Wasn't the Sheeca/Kingfisher a plywood mono hull? If it's the one I'm thinking of she ended her days fishing from Eyemouth/St Abbs

    hi paul, aye she was double skinned marine ply mono hull, just this one seems to have an identical wheelhouse, and comes from the same place, i know the sheeca was designed and built by a bloke from down that way.
    she was a great sea boat too, and well rigged.was the first boat i had worked with the split winch, she had a drum either side of the fishroom.
    when ejnar took the kingfisher in part ex for the bennisan i thought he had lost his mind.
