    She was called Seren Y Don Ally. A French built boat, she worked out of Plymouth scalloping in 1978/79.
    Aye i thought she was Seren Y Don- I was close by one day when she lifted a telephone cable off Arran once!

    She's a different boat to Snowstar Kalren. Snowstar was in Brixham for a long time as BM 267. She was then sold to the Blyth area & became BH 217 before being de-registered & used as an angling boat.
    The shallow vee shaped transom is typical of boats built in the Le Guilvenec area of France in the fifties.
    There was any number of old French boats with those sterns around the South West in the seventies & eighties.
    thanks for that learn something every day.i towed the green plover in one day (a 44ft wooden trawler potter ) and could't stop it. It crashed into the stern and almost pushed it inside out but it did bounce back.......the french know how to build a boat
