That's her LH 87 She was about 56ft or there abouts with a 114 in her,built by Macduff Boatbuilders in the very late 50s.Last time I saw her was at Scappa Pier in the late 70s getting converted to an angling/diving boat.Don't know if she's still on the go up there or not.
Some learn by reading,some ask questions,others observe...but there's always one who has to pee on an electric fence for himself.

Hi Bryan
Unfortunately it isn't - I was there a couple of weeks ago and there weer very few boats - apart from the many 'Trips to the Farnes' boats.

Steve and Ronnie from what I can remember I think LH87 fits the bill she worked a lot from Eyemouth and Amble.I was meant to be going out on her just after New Year about 1961 but when we got to Eyemouth the weather was too bad.
