Based in Fraserburgh but worked mainly on the West Caost, this is the boat that will be supplying the information for the proposed closure, if i'd known that when i took the pic i'd have chucked one of the logs piled on the quay into her prop. for the size of boat she only had dunbar 6ft doors aboard.
