    Different boat. Celtic Star - BD 34 was built new with that name for Dick Talbot of Bideford in about 1988. Quite a few were built by Versatility around that time that looked identical with a standard layout though. Lizann was around the Thames estuary area. Not sure if she was de-commissioned last year or not.

    Yes, a lot of them even had the same gallows Rad. Lizann & Jocalinda in Rye were more or less identical, Celtic Star was the same apart from colour (she was a creamy grey colour from memory) My Mikeala in Brixham was the same (also blue) but was a netter when new. Vichana in Rye was also a trawler with the same gallows but with her wheelhouse midships. All were Versatility 35's & most were later shortened to under 10m by having their stems cut off (with varying degrees of finesse  ??? )
