Dad took this photo in the sound of Isla about 1965-66
he said the boat was green and her name was green something sorry about the photo quality it was enlarged alot



    looks like a Forbes build going by the wheel house
    I might be wrong but I think it might be called Castle Bay.
    Olsens 1968,   Castle Bay 11 N.206 Built Sandhaven 1965 53nt. 99gt. 325hp. owner Richard Donnan.Cloughey. Co.Down
