Westport Work Boat Wednesday

Todays photos come to us from Andrew Hewitt and were taken in December 2018.

A nice collection, including a few laid up old woodys whose fishing days look over.

Any of the woodys owned, worked or rubbed up against these old girls?

Input from Harold Kidd – Great pics of great boats! ANTARES is surely the Roger Carey ANTARES of 1963?

Update – photos below ex Cameron Pollard

Some very nice boats there. Lady Jane looks lovely, but please new owners, don’t build sheds on them, respect them for what they are.
