    This old Lass is 50 odd years old now, built like a battleship, big heavy bugger of a coble and used to be terrible to pull up to pots, used to lay sidewise, tried all sorts including cutting holes in the draughts in the hopes she would lay better.
    Don't know if she still has the 4LW still in her, she was like a rocket and the rudder used to float up when she was going full, so they put a small chain on the rudder head and shackled it down to the scutboard.!!!
    Like Peck Walkers Guide Me, the plan was that they would spend a bit of time towing about in the garden, that was why they both had wheelhouses amidships
