Looks likely that I'm about to take ownership of another one in need of TLC, so trying to find some history

A wee Fifie Yawl, built 1906 (!!!)

got her as "Richies"  PD29 and beyond that I know nowt!

wonder if it rings any bells or anyone with any old Olsen's etc might shed a bit of light, previous names, where built etc

ta muchly!

(No - I haven't told my other half yet either!!)

listed in 1948 almanack as a sail boat, owner Robert Cordiner, 1.02 tons. Didn't she used to lie at a small harbour just south of PD? Can't remember which one tho. Think I saw her more recently at Johnshaven.
