There's a lot of ironwork missing from up for'ard on the Sapphire, hence her bow is high out of the water.....
Wednesday evening and the gillnetter Ben My Chree makes her way in through the gaps at the end of her trip.....
another Irish beamer joins the fleet....
Sam and Barry get the tubs back aboard the Lyonnesse.....
the biggest beam gear in the harbour hangs high over the end of the new quay...
as the Lyonnesse makes her way from the drying out berth in front of the harbour offices.....
the fresh breeze gives this yacht some practice in getting down the mainsail head to wind.....

Is that the Sapphire that once was a Portsmouth Boat owned by Johnsons? If so i wasted some of my youth on her. Or was it wasted?
Love your site.
I'll find out for sure but I think you are right - she has a Stork main engine and is now in her 50th year!
