    Looks like late 80s so maybe the Ocean Vanguard was an Oban vessel by then.LH 286 is Ronnie Smith's wee Lilacina 11,Big Elmo Pellegrotti's Boy Stewart out of Rothesay,"Blackie's" Cheryth Louise lying outside him,cannae mind the outside boat's name..Cygnus 32 wi' a 6 cylinder Lister in her,she was in Tarbert at one point,think that's the one anyway but stand ready to be corrected there.Just noticed your date after I posted the comment Norman..didn't think it was as late as '95,but you'll know the date better than me!
    The outside one is the Jolly Roger. She lay in the Crinan canal at Belanoch for a good while after it sunk at the mooring if i remember right, Old Colin Stevenson his son in law had her Ronnie in Tarbert. She was eventually bought by John Macfarlane done up and turned to the creels.
    Aye ronnie i think your date would be more accurate than mine ! cheers mate
