Lovely pic of a nice boat exactly where is this on the Ribble-is it Lytham?

I'll post some pics later when I'm home. Yes, right off the clubhouse, didn't want to attempt the approach channel in the dark first time in so stayed off for the night.

For the antifouling, good old international but she's been stuck languishing in the Albert Dock for a couple of years so her new home will let us do all that now

Please tell us more, this is a beautfiul boat!

Hey all, thanks for the kindness. She's a morecambe Bay prawner (locally a Nobby) built crossfields of Conwy in 1931. The only ketch rigged one I've ever seen.

I wondered if Morcambe Bay but mizzen threw me.
Interesting steering arrangement. Are those lines to the tiller for self steering or actually used to steer? Can't see how you get to the tiller

I think I spy a wheel just fore of the mizzen.

Of course.

Steering is by a couple of wires that run around the mizzen and onto a drum turned by a wheel. I don't like it as I think you lose some of the intuitiveness and feel but one of our co-owners loves it
