Accord  BF 299

Lying in FR.



    became SHEKINA, then RACHAEL JAYNE,
    ended up south of england as a netter? but cant mind her name now?
    Built Sandhaven, I think about 1968, as Mystic for Billy Cowe. Engine forrit. Billy, a crack fisherman, made a fortune in this one.
    Constellation11, also built Sandhaven .. 1978, for Joe Buchan who fished a lot on the inshore grounds with bobbin gear. Green canvas "curtains" visible in picture. They ran on a wire from whaleback to start of caisson amidships. Looks primitive now, but would have been a welcome shelter from the wind then!! Became Ocean Searcher BF48 under Sandy Wood, who now operates Searcher.
    GeeBee you missed a chapter on the constellation......was Atlantean for a number of years skippered by Barry Lovie from Whitehills ........ then became ocean searcher....you are right about the curtains were not ideal but better than nothing ...they were washed away eventually on the way out to rockall one trip.....
    Now. listen you! I'm just an incomer to this area. Nae sure o' my way west o' the Muckle Rock. We're depending on guys like you to supply local info!! Forgot all about Barry. Senior Moment! You'll be enjoying them soon.
