anyone know this boat

[AndieMac]

interesting update / resurrection to a 7 years old post, shame all the pictures have now gone as she looks a proper boat..

Indeed FF, since joining the forum I have become good friends with Ulava and Orcades is a magnificent vessel, although he no longer owns her.
She has recently gone through an incredible refit/rebuild in the Clyde area, Ulava has some good photos of the process. I'll contact him and see if he will post them here.

There is a beaver class Malahide trawler for sale on Apollo Duck.
You will need extremely deep pockets if the figures bandied about on the Classic Trawler forum are to be believed!

She was the Lancastrian and used by Fleetwood nautical college as a radar training vessel back in the 70s ?

Hi

I am reading old post and see questions. I think this vessel is maybe Romsdal north sea trawler. It was built in Norway at the Hagen shipyard. The designer was Knut Hagen if that helps.

Hi; my dad Myles Stapleton was the naval architect at malahide in the 70s . Would you like to be put in touch? He has loads of old plans and pics. All Portuguese new builds were his designs.

Hi,

I also own a Malahide- 52' 1968 named Tsmyne Too. I believe she is the first of the Malahide series. She is in relatively good shape and I am enjoying working on her. I live in Connecticut, USA. What is the URL for the Malahide website you were referring to?

Myles said : We had some hulls built by the Fernando da Costa boatyard in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, eastern Algarve. Our 120ft ex-North Sea trawler towed each hull to Malahide for a customised completion to a Trawler Yacht.

Curious why a yard inPotugal was chosen as there were and still are some good shipyards although I think it’s mostly steel these days in Galiciaand Asturias,nwSpain.
