Jim Todd(Toddie)from Newhaven had her when she went ashore at Sheep.I'm sure it was thick as a dyke that day and his electrics had packed in.Hughie McIntyre used to pump that yin oot a puckle o' times at the old South pier ower the weekend when they were away hame.I wouldnae say she lecked like a herring basket,but she sure as hell wisnae ticht !!
When she was in TT Ronnie she she was kept in great condition, but I seen her after she
was sold and she was a bit rough looking , the clams was a sore job on the wooden boats

Toddie did well with her,but as you say George,the clams was hellish sore on them.He put a new wheelhouse on no that long before he lost her.A bonny big skiff she was too,could toddle on wi' the 114 in her.
If I mind right Ronnie the wheelhouse was saved and went on another boat which I think ran ashore west side Mull!
Wis shairly the unluckiest wheelhoose ever that yin wis it no Davy ? Just thinking that it was maybe Dickie Toogood's Ros Guill OB 63 that got the wheelhouse...she was lost off Ardmore Point in 1974.
any idea what one or who it is
