None at all…we were just dog walking on the cliff tops…at a guess I would say an aluminium hulled professional fishing boat…possibly custom made

Ok this is the best I can do to get details....there are only three uses for these types of boats in this region...dive boat, fishing boat and work boat for the marinas....it has a crane on the back, that narrows it down to fishing or work boat...it looks like two outboards on the back (but that could just be my eyesight)...so, fishing boats tend to be diesel inboard (although not always)...but the port’s work boats are nearly always outboards.....their main job is getting the buoys in and out each summer....so could explain why she’s so close to shore (indeed it could also be fishing for lobsters or taking divers to explore the rocks)...either way it will be from a specialist builder.

Here are two of the port’s work boats that I passed by this morning on the way to the shower block…

Yesterday I was out walking and I came across this dive/work boat that might be exactly the same as that boat in my photo….

400 hp for a light weight alu thing???
50 hp and foils would be faster.

If it’s a work boat then power is useful as is two widely spaced motors for manoeuvrability

Thank you for these neat photos! I have saved copies to my ally power cat folder for future reference.
She may not be in the same league as JFM's new San Lorenzo re her looks, but I have a soft spot for ally working boats and am always interested in their design and layout.
I see that she has a classic diver's boarding ladder (a central pole with branches on each side as steps) and a serious hydraulically operated gantry frame on the transom for (I presume) lifting heavy treasure finds on board.

The treasure is probably the buoys and other objects that get put in and out each seasonThank you for these neat photos! I have saved copies to my ally power cat folder for future reference.
