New wheelhouse that,she had a long wooden one on originally I think,did it no have a door at the back for getting to the winch and one on the starboard side for the creels?
aye shes modernised there rope reels too,,think you could be right about the 2 doors.
thought i was seeing an old style wooden trawl board on starboard quarter , till i realised it was his jockey//storm board. specsavers here i come....

Wasn't much time for cups of tea,working the 5 coil & one man on deck happy days
downside after all ??crew was reduced then,,,,,,,
built 1955 at Eyemouth, I think. The yard was then owned by a Mr Bell from up t Edinburgh way, but still trading under the Weatherhead name. Gardner 92 hp when new.
Is that a double size reel on strbd side to allow overending ropes to even out wear? I think some (bigger) boats had three reels to allow this.
