    looks like a nice beamy boat,would be a good sea boat i bet  ??? O0 O0 :D
    RACHEL CLAIRE EX WY 142 Built by jack  Lowther in 1974 for Mr ROBERT ALLEN of  Whitby she was the first mini keelboat to join the fulltime fishing fleet . She was built with aft wheel house.
    She was a cracker of a seaboat, ask Timmy Turnbull about her.
    The extra bulwark forrard was added when she was Welsh owned, kind of spoiled her looks, she was bonny with an aft wheelhouse and a mizzen and we put some plain old days in at times with her, she always felt as safe as houses.
    I used to try and keep her looking nice with them varnished top planks
    Thanks Paul
