…….maybe get rid of the derrick and set a gaff mainsail

I think the stink of fish would put most off.

Obviously would have to air it out a bit

You are aware it's a work boat? I'd hate for you to suffer an allergic reaction.

One might be able to convince oneself that it was something else.

The faint odour of performing seal, perhaps?

Not adverse to work just unnessary work

Never got over not buying a Baltic trader in the1960/70…..1,500 pounds for a trader directly out of trade

Wonderful boats. Some friends of ours bought one and lived aboard for more than 20 years.

My new boat

£ 1.500 in 1960 would be £ 22.000 now and a fully "live-on" converted and updated boat will cost you a bit.
Due to the state of the fishing industry, there are a lot of fishing boats for sale at the moment.

You can choose from flavours of any waters and fish species.

A different kind, but the smell of mahogany & varnish would be better than of 100 years of stored fish:

They bought the boat as a bit of a wreck in Gibraltar. Moved up to Estepona for a few years beginning the looooong process of refitting.

Then back to Gib. The mizzen mast was an old telegraph pole acquired from the dockyard. Some of the interior was wood from the old wall panelling in the Ceuta yacht club demolished to make way for a road scheme. There were some wooden bench seats rescued from an ancient church, etc, etc. The whole vessel was delightfully bonkers.

We once held a Trafalgar Night dinner in the hold whilst moored in Gib.

Last time we saw them they were passing through Lanzatote on the way to the Windies. An amazing dream over probably nearly 30 years sadly cut short by illness but a testament to 'what can be achieved with determination'.

Many years ago when very much younger and even more foolish I bought a decommissioned fishing boat in Shetland. The cleanest part of the boat was the fish hold with no lingering smells.

Rogers and Hart now? Are you like this all the time? Lucky you. Me too.
