    i mind o, dick havin the FAIR MAID a 50ft ringer, but a canny mind o this one, must of been afore he got CONCORD.
    this will be the one that now sits in charlestown harbour then?????;D?;D???
    not sure it was burnt oot,i think it was his brother that had the fairmaid
    dick didh ave this 1 before the concord he got her from shields his brother andre had the fair maid sure she had a 120 kelvin in her when dick had her
    Not sure if it is the one in Charleston Harbour or not, she has an R6 Kelvin in her and has since converted in the late 70's at Burntisland. I do seem to recall that she had a fire and that was why she was bought as a hull to convert.
