A very nice little boat.

I haven't been up that way for a while but looking at recent pics of the S.S. Sir Walter Scott what a mess they have made of her with the new superstructure.

Reminds me to dig out plans and start a new project

Couldn't agree more about the superstructure, they have completely destroyed what were, to me at least, classical lines. I can understand the desire for sheltered accommodation, given our Scottish weather, but they could surely have made more of an effort to design something less like a shoe box.
