    this one looks to be timber?
    [move]Hmmmmmmmm[/move]

    EU Fleet Register certainly has her down as
    http://ec.europa.eu/...Fiber / plastic

    That said - the photograph I took of her out of the water at the following link certainly suggests planking?

    However the MFA site also has her as Fibre - see

    Maybe a fibre glass skin over the original planks?
    I've sent an email to the boats owner to find out from the horses mouth  ;D

    Email bounced - so that avenue has been cut off  ;D
