Golden West

Running through narrows at Kyles of Bute at 9 knots.  8 cylinder Kromhout engine fitted with 3:1 reduction box running at 1300 rpm still turning he 6L3 stern gear.  Tried to keep her looking like a fishing boat when we done the conversion.  Hull larch on Oak fastened with brass composite nails and splinned a well built hull from Fairlie Slip.
