I have just had to delete 4 posts that were not in intelligable English from the comments under this photo. It is not smart , nor clever , to deliberately provoke the moderating team by using non English. The sites owner has made his feelings on this absolutely clear , use English or the posts get deleted. If you do not like the rules you do not have to stay you are free to leave the site , no one forces anyone to stay on here.

Jose I kind of agree wi you on that one.
She looks very like the LK117 Prevail ( ex Radiant Star and Evening Star) I think she too was built at MacDuff. I can't help but think if they got rid of the black stripe from around the wheelhouse it would improve her no end

She was built for the Herring pair trawl thats why she has that large hatch in the starboard side ( for the pump to be lifted out through ). That and the seperation between the funnel and wheelhouse makes her look a bit different. I agree that if they just painted the wheelhouse white or grained it it would look a lot better.

Well has the 'henhoose' on the back of the wheelhouse been on her since new? Or is it a Skippers cabin or winch controls

I think she's been like that since new Kevin. I'm sure its the skippers cabin at the back of the wheelhouse but could be wrong
