    I think your right Jammy looking at her she is new the manie in the whellhouse is saying to himself o dear a hope I will  be able to pay the bank  :-
    dont think the bank manager would have been a big worry when this one was built bryan  :- O0
    I think the after frame was used to support the brailer derrick although none is fitted in this pic. Forward one could have been used to mount brailer pole forestay and keep it from running low across the hatch and deck as most of the crew would be in middle of boat when boarding the net. Nae doubt some old timer will prove me wrong though! :-
