Identify this boat.

I've put this on yourboatpix (great idea - poor man's Beken). It was taken in Oban, and I suspect is a regular visitor, can anybody tell me the name?

Hard to be sure from that angle on my ancient monitor but possibly Spirit of Fairbridge and she is in Oban at the moment.

If it is her, I've got some embarassing pictures but promised not to show them.

Edit: Having studied the details I'm now convinced.

Yeah that's her. Thankyou. Now show those embarassing pictures.

The photographer was subsequently slightly ashamed of having taken them and made me promise that they would go no further. They're only pics of a boat aground, albeit in a most embarassing position.

Now that I think of it, I only promised not to make them public on the net so if you PM your email I'll send you one if you promise the same.

That wasn't at Dunstaffnage early this year was it? We saw her and assumed "drying out" was the intention, just a few yards off the end of the pontoons.

Yes, no and yes.
