    rokertow, Was it not the BCK Rival that was first twin-rigger, Alistair Reid?
    there was a comment on a pic of the E,PHRAIM built 1987, lying in arbroath at the time .

    it said she was the first TWIN RIGGER, for the broch,

    no sure if she was the first   or   purpose built as such??
    when a left school 84,a remember landin alongside guide us,think she was twinrig,at the same time i remember workin alongside alistair in the old rival,think new wan was bought from peterhead not long aifter that,was on the watchful at the time and there was a big shift to 2 nets roon 1986 / 87 at a guess ,think ephriam,was first custom built twinrigger possible sardonyx next?
