Thats right John, Fred I canny remember them having any this big.

Thanks Rory for another Kellyboat, ......It's been a great start to the year, you've got your Glengariff, thanks to Fred,..... and Fred is posting great oul steamers, and we've a new cook signed on , John Baird,.... so we'll be well looked after.

The boys on the Dromara would have a bit more room on her, for the focas'le seems longer than any other Kellyboats.

Now, I'm going to sidetrack you for a while, theres a heap more Kellyboats, Coast Lines et all on this wonderful posting, here;

Thanks for the link Kenny,
A most interesting site for almost everything. The Kelly cards so far are the same pix I have, but I'm sure there will be others. Is not BENGIDOG a member here?
Cheers,
Rory
