Mystery Boats & Location – Win a ww t-shirt
Today’s post could be interesting, the first woody that can ID any of the boats & the location will win a ww t-shirt. Rules are simple – first correct answer in the ww Comments section wins. If by 6.00pm no one has answered correctly, we will count backwards e.g. first woody with one of the two answers wins, if no one gets that, then the best (in my eyes) answer wins.
Only one other condition – the prize has to be either a size XL or 2XL shirt, that is all I have left until the next print run – p.s. they are smallish sizing.
Would have to question the effectiveness of those bilge stabilizers – a little like a pimple on a pumpkin 🙂
AND WHILE I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION – A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR HELP
Hi All
I am the project manager for Windhaven the Col Wilde ketch undergoing refit at Yachting Developments. Trying to find some original photos so we can look at restoring to as near as possible to her former glory. promise to be on the harbour this summer.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. pls send to garyatsea@gmail.com
Thx
Capt Gary
Alan H comment – a wee tip – if you keep spelling Wild with an E, you won’t get much help from HDK 😉
Below are a couple of photos that I assume you have already seen?
Can any woodys help Gary out with more info / photos?

Hi Chris
You win, I understand how you would have discovered the location via the photo ID tag (my oops), as for the boat names ………………
What size t-shirt are you – XL or 2XL ? email me your postal address.

Chris M is correct. The photo is titled ‘Where fishing Boats go to die, Salen. Isle of Mull’ Taken June 2015. Have a look of Google maps.

PS I do have some pics from the Wild family. The Spencers should have heaps.

Can’t tell you the boats names but I’m fairly sure they are at Kaiaua on the Western side of Thames. I have a litho by Dick Frizzell that is almost identical to the boat on the left.

Near Salen on the Isle of Mull in Scotland.

Somewhere in the Falklands? Patagonia/Magellan Straits maybe?
