    When that boat wis brand new, they were rigging her oot beside the old..old market , when the galvanized block in the landing derrick topping lift, came down and struck Billy Cowe on the shoulder, just missing his head,and he was quite badly injured. What happened was that the heat from the exhaust from the engine, which was forrit and close beside the mast  , melted a courelene rope causing it to fall down. She was also owned by Michael and Sandy Watt for a time before they got the first SARDONOYX built... O0
