    Similar I would agree but different if that makes sense. All I can tell you James and his dad came to Tarbert and looked at her and Fionagael, who were both built by Coastal Marine of Eyemouth, when planning the build of Aeolus.
    So they must have had a lot of input in the Aeolus design. James will tell you who designed Aeolus,
    I think it was Jim Evans of Eyemouth who designed Nancy Glen and Fionagael but not 100% sure

    ian's father inlaw was my neighbour for many years till he passed away the weekend of the ryder cup before last, they design a lot of nice boats just a pity that none of them get built locally, the skillbase was here, the facilities were here, now theres nothing, not even the buildings remain.
