Not sailing - she anchored in the harbour for a few hours and then returned upriver. Apparently she will be based on the river for a few weeks whilst carrying out surveys on the North East Coast.

Nice Hull/Deck Line line Very reminiscent of the British Power Boat Wartime 'Whaleback' and even better when there are two of them joined at the Hip!!

Whoever designed these Hull(s)it would appear that he is a fan of the great George Selman who designed the MGB,MTB, ASR Whaleback Launches.
