    Tommy Kettles "Val" in the foreground, Alec and Gordons "Avail" ;)
    This is not the val dave,boat was called calypso owned by a welsh lad called david worked at vaux with alfie simlar shape to the val but gunnels not as wide.
    Thanks for that John, I would have sworn it was the the "Val"  ;)
    It looks like one of Tony Goodalls varnished two headed boat further along the row?
    I think she has a bit too much rake on her stem to be one of Gordon's.
    it was a lowther double ender called Anon,was owned by Alan Gatenby was sold south i think it went to skinningrove Bob.cobles were avail,isabel,friends,enterprise,stella maris.
    Hi Kettle, many thanks for that info, I keep thinking I should have put a dodger on Morning Star every time I see pics of them on the northside cobles.!!!
    Hi,Bob just dont put a wheelhouse on ,we had both the dodger and wheelhouse on endurance and i still prefer dodgers.Its suppirsing how much water the dodger keeps out and they can always be dropped or but to oneside if need be.

    i think the blue transom sterm boat 3rd frm the left is the ross renown bought frm bollcows of blyth off a ross trawler in the late 70s early 80s was dropped in at blyth then was towed to the ouseburn by the molly where it remained for a number of years could be wrong though it has been known. ;) ;) ;) ;) :- :-
