Always admired the 'long, lean' line of the hulls on this class.

Totally agree with you there NE, a very smart Hull line, unfortunately costly to build and not much good at "Glasgow" kissing Foreign Trawlers if the need arises again :D

I see her Anchor is “a” cock bill as it should be, don’t want another incident with an “electrical issue” whilst coming alongside ;) I presume she on UMS? When it first came out on MN vessels it was a bit of a nightmare in my experience, automation works perfectly well on land in an Oil Refinery but fitting on a creaking groaning buffeting ship is a different matter.
