We may have to agree to disagree on the lines she has. she looks very proper and well appointed to my eye - buying a boat for me is always about that "gut feeling" you get on a viewing any other bits and bats can be changed to suit as and when and thats often the compromise for most Good advice from Mum ........"you only come this way once " Enjoy Robin

She is a fine looking ship - would she be classed as a trawler yacht ? finny
