Great shot John,im sure the lads on my site will enjoy this one.

Its a shame she has been laid up so long at Duggans yard. Shes been tidyied up a bit since last year and is for sale for £75k.

I have no idea why she has been laid up, she has a big engine in her around 1300bhp...i wonder if its had it though?

Hi Ben,

if I had £75k to spare I'd have her... I'm sure she'd make an ideal platform for ship photography if not towage :-)
Happy New Year to you and look forward to some more gems from you in 2008.
Regards
John J.
