    Ended her days as the Eclipse PD38  She took fire 120 miles of PD and was lost was the LH Sharon Dawn for a time.
    Don't know HB - I always remember the Kallista being green hulled- lovely lines on her!- flyin machine!!
    Went out on her in the clyde during the summer when I was at school - got a massive haul of dogs !! any herring in the net (which wisnae much as the dogs had chased them) were minced with the weight and rough skin of the dogs.
    Cracking pic - going into Ayr by the look of it.
    Billy Cowes Mystic was yellow - forbes built but smaller with transom stern
    pity the cant build them like that anymore 14 knots great speed for a white fish boat in those days todays trawlers wont even do 9 knots
