    The men that own the boats in St Peters basin Tyne should be given the backing to take the two boats round the coast to let fishermen know there is still fellow's out there that care about the past and like wise the boats. this two boats are spot on. Worth a trip to the Tyne to see them. Thank you boys for giving us the chance to have a look at boats the way they should be.

    Next year we are thinking of taking  Favourite and Rachel Douglas to the Portsoy festival , maybe even Sovereign if things progress. we could take one of the boats to the Crinnan classics along with Shemaron, we could do with more people who are able and willing to help crew these boats anyone who is intrested should contact us.
