    She sunk SE of Sleat Pt about 2mile west of the Roachy.I think Michael MacNiel bought her from Hamish Philps who then bought the steel Defiant and i think he was down the Clyde at the pelagic with it as well.Im sure she got sold to the free state later.Last i heard of Hamish he was ment to be a Pilot for BA,ach well i suppose its always going to be a downward trend after the highs of being a fisherman.
