I am a big fan of IPs, but a Bowman is better . . .

Love the ensign.

You're the first person to describe her as 'extravagantly equipped'! Indeed a very good question and the answer is almost certainly not. Border Maid seems to have been one of the first UK built Folkboats, from Woodnutts in St Helens IoW in 1948 and was originally a proper Nordic Folkboat with a low coachroof. She was substantially modified some time in the 60s with a new coachroof, doghouse, deck stepped alloy mast (still in service) and a spreader rig rather than the proper Folkboat rig with one stay each side and jumpers. I think the Stuart Turner inboard, since replaced, was probably installed at the same time. I quite like the coachroof which I think gives her a Vertue-ish or perhaps a somewhat Robert Clarkly look.

A fine looking vessel (and the anchor ball is the bees' knees) but do you have anything in next season's budget for a new main?

Sorry, that was very rude of me.

Can't find an "Under Sail" pic

At anchor, whoops without ball, Rubh an Dunain, SW Skye

Alongside, Glenmore Bay, L Sunart

On the subject of anchor lights please note the B&Q special

Try again.

Well done, although you have forgotten to tick the "add sunshine" option before uploading.

Mr Sage of Lorne

Is this a photo of your fine vessel (the one on the left), a blue hulled V34 ?

PS......................., where is it?

Loch Scavaig?

Spot on, and quick.

Isn't the last day of term a truly wonderful event.

No, not Blueberry Hill but, we certainly intend to be in the vicinity of Skye in 2009. At a guess, that one could be Luinga Mhor but there are a few 34p's with the dark blue hull. I am looking forward to anchoring in Scavaig again.

This one was taken in November 2005, by our greatly missed friend Alistair Naismith, Superstrath;

And this one was taken by Silkie a few months later on CC06;
