    What engine was in her Donald? Think it was a 66K originally.
    used to lift the moorings wi a big hand winch you can see it just in front o mast couple o bodys each side winding the handles too get moorings up dont think big robert wanted to spend the money on hydraulics and she still had a kelvin in her which kept the aft cabin roasting.
    Think he put out the 66 and put in the 112hp Kelvin John
    took lot o fish out of pirnmill george at  seine net as green pastures l
    I thats right James they were pretty good at it, I used to here Ross & Nuckler speaking about them.
    They used to leave her in the canal when they went home for the weekend, many a time I played aboard her.
    There is a photo of her brand new in Herd & McKenzies new book.
    she was similar to archies starlight george i she was herd mckenzie to.
