think nobles used mair varnish than all the scottish builders put together!! bonnie boat again.
Think she was a snapper at the ringnet in her day bonnie boat,
if only the sea was as plentyfull now maha 
It might of been a wee bit of shit stirrin but it was always said the (Stormdrift) always carried better and more than the (Marie). Stormdrift - 221 and a quarter cran, Marie 215 cran, and no matter what Howard thought was always the better boat, not that i am biased in any way.
This fellow was more than a snapper, when he snapped them he had to run them and he did some hell of a poor nights the same man.
Aye ringnetman the ringers must have seen some poor weather running the minch to land with 180 cran aboard in the winter . to think a lot of the time it was done with out radar hardy men.
Them lads had the finest navigating equipment of the lot Bryan...two good eyes and a brain 
Easy Ronnie, they Had a compass, and a clock!!! hehehehe
How are you doing Howard???
