    Thats the Auld Kirk in St Monans in the background there.  Hope was a Millers built ring netter.

    Reliable source tells me, seemingly both KY140 & KY 167 were neighbour boats and worked a foursome with the old Stormdrift/Summer Rose pair of Dunure in the Minch.

    I think the Hope's neighbour was the Good Design John but I don't know her number.
