    The boat inside the creel boat with the white wheelhouse was the Sovereign SY249 which sank in 1995.

    Coy has the Northern Star SY11 which used to be the Resolve, he had another boat called Laura Anne but she was sold a couple of months back. Punka died a about 3 years ago now too. Angie has the Wave Crest SY3.

    No, the Northern Star was called Resolve SY11 when she was built untill she became Northern Star. The Eala Bhan was a different boat and she is now converted into a sailing boat.
