Two blokes at work
OK-100 views -no takers .
So - the gent standing up was the first Jim Manson -(James Manson OBE, to give him his title) .( For service to the fishing industry I seem to remember ,and his reply -all I did was to feed my family)
The gent on the net was Pete McLean ( his son in law) .
A closer look at the boat would make me think that this was taken on the original Mary Manson ( OB71)

I never knew when we got OB 71 for the Storjen back in 1971 that it had such a distinguished pedigree.Nobody ever mentioned it to us.Just noticed that the now...no bad,only six weeks late with the comment! A fine bit of fishing history too in that photo.
There's a photo of OB71 on here ,taken in Mallaig in the early days .
Old Mary Manson OB71....Jessie Alice ...Winner, same boat.
Gents .... Mary Manson - Jessie Alice (1948 Olsens) W Sutherland - Winner - were all OB9 built 1924
So -any ideas .
