amazing workmanship

Great memories of many trips by Cot to rod fish opposite "the Navigation" from the "the island" behind the Ormond Castle Carrick-on-Suir after school. Sadly many of the friends who sailed with me are no longer with us

So good to watch this Andrew. I sent it to my Son Garry, who now lives in Pembrokeshire with his family. I'd love to bring him over sometime.

my little ole grandad use to fish the suir in the 50s and 60s that I know his name john hayes long gone now

Hi Andrew. Great video. I had one that I bought off one of the Cowmans from Crooke in 1992. I sold her back to a Passage man 2 years later. She was 17/1/2 foot long and was called 'The Queen Of Connemara' . I put two stub keels on her which made her a lot more stable. Well done with this I wish that I had known and I would have been there;
