    Maybe the lad that has her puts in a hoora weather and takes a hoora water aboard?!! or maybe they're all linked up to a sorting tray so all the wee chuckie stones go back over without too much bother?
    they're gundoors  :police:

    would say the scuppers have been modified to remove stones , will be hinged one way, these cats are one of the most stable crafts you could go to sea on for their size  :police:

    If they were all for getting water off the deck I think I would be seriously worried if I was aboard her!! All joking aside,they're great wee boats right enough,very very stable and good sea boats by all accounts.
