    This one was built as Aquilla for Dervaig (Mull) owners, Wanderer that went to PD was a 40ftr seiner built for the Gibson Bros of Dunure, finished up as match sticks.

    I dont think its so George she has been about, built Noble Girvan 72for Mull then she was in Campbeltown as Aquila OB99 then in Fife sold from fife became Beulah 11 then Wanderer 11 CN142.
    Ta for that, Johntar. Coming back to me now. She had a plain kinda wheelhouse .. but a bonny boatie.This one has bonny lines. The "functionality" (if that's a word) o' scalloping, with poles stickin' up everywhere, robs these craft o' their real beauty.
    Thanks, Bryan, as well. Just read your helpful comment.

    Everytime I go over to Rothsay and pass Ormidale, look down to the pier and see that wee dirt track, I wonder how they managed to fill a couple of artics in the dark. clever men in more ways than one! Eddie Stobart would and should have employed them as logistical consultants!!

    JIMMY ANDERSON [BUDGIE] NEAR CAMPBELTOWN HAD HER
    james allan(budgie) carradale had her
    it was kind of the policemen to direct the funeral cortege around the artics.Jist a touch awkward to see two legendary tarbert skippers in the procession. 8:) ;)
