    From memory I think she was about 77 or 78 feet Will,one of the early Cat powered boats.A bonny looking vessel but no as shapely as a Herdies(in my humble opinion).

    Aye Bryan,he was a great fisherman that man.If we had a pound each for every box of fish he put ashore in his career we would be millionaires many times over...in fact,even at a shilling a box we would still be gey wealthy laddies lol
    Sorry boys, you are both wrong......She was 79' long.

    Aye Billy,the word "legend" gets bandied aboot far ower much nowadays for my liking.Some unknown wee numptie appears on Top of the Pops singing a shit*e song and suddenly they're a legend?...my ar*e! He definitely deserved that accolade though...him and a few others at the fishing...they sure earned it.
