    One of the first boats MacMillan FAIRLIE built Castle Moil BRD360. built for Billy Finlayson & Dan Reid Kyleakin neeboured the Misty Isle BRD? when both new. Arctic Star INS178. the last boat to neebour Dan before he sold the C/MOIL she was sold to Bridlington in very good order just rigged for ringnet only, sorry to see her in such a state steady money with Big Dan.
    she's still sat here, nee wheelhouse now, it sort of fell off (or in)
    Ok then, one for those who know or knew her well. Did she have steel beam knees to the frames anywhere in the bow area when newer than she is now?  

    Cheers
