Early '70s, Kirkwall reg. under Alex Costie, fished scallops W. coast o' Scotland. She was creamy "yoghurt" kinda colour, but I aye thought she was a very streamlined craft. Raked stem, very clean at the waterline. Other Orkney boats there at that time were Kildinguie, Flourish (ex ringer).

Same builder as Maid of Honour WK30 and Golden Eagle WK359 and one other boat for Shetland. Enterprise had a Norwegian Wichmann engine for a time
David Howarth took a wooden model of her out to Walter Duncan's boatbuilding shed in Hamnavoe Burra before he built her to show to local fishermen. The concensus was that she was too fine forward and would go in by the head, which she did, but was a very successful boat. She had a CP prop.
