    Was it no the local Sheriff,or some kind of court official like that, who had her when she was in Girvan? Nice wee boat,always well kept,think it was a 6LX in her.
    bought by davie horsley in 2005 moved to hartlepool then he sold it 2 west coat in 2006 plenty of draft this boat
    Came to Girvan in late sixties  I think. Owned by Jimmy Smith QC, later Sheriff in Stranraer. Skippered by Andy Hislop, then his brother Jock. Decommissioned in first ever scheme. Sold to Colin McKechnie after that. She did have a 6lx Gardner. reg BF 52.
    Is this the Avail that fished out of Macduff in the sixties ?
