this was my grandfather anderson's last boat the ring netter Marie noble's of girvan 1963 59ft seen at the side of the wheelhouse is my father.
in the latter stages of this boats fishing carreer it ended up with the whole family having served on her from grandfather and his brothers to father and uncles to myself and cousin before being deregistered and sold to become a floating workshop for an electrican down south of england
When it came to building a bonny ringer,Mr.Noble was certainly a class act.
not sure about this but he had a rule of thumb that his boats had to have no more than 1/3 bean to length ronnie but unsure about that also got told he said that green was an unlucky or bad colour for his boats but have to say the "ringer green" suited this style
Beautiful photo Jammy, God, they knew how to build boats in the old dayz!
Ayeways thocht her the bonniest o' the bunch. Different frae a' the rest. Lines sweeter or something.
Peety the crew werny as braw Jammy! They used tae ca' them "The Black Gang", due tae their swarthy looks.
