I took this picture in Hoy Sound a few years back.

The boat sank off Mull Head,Deerness last Wednesday morning.

Thankfully all three crew were picked up unhurt from a liferaft by Kirkwall lifeboat.

Comments:
Could I be right in saying that this boat was built in Stromness (Garson)by Jimmy Mason for Joe Laughton somewhere about 1984 ??
