Book Description
With the gradual phasing out of wooden fishing boats of Scotland it is timely to record some of these handsome vessels. In the years from 1960–80 boat builders produced some of their most shapely and graceful craft, a testament to the skill of both the builders and designers. Initially the designs were a collaboration of builders and skippers, but later the implementation of statutory rules demanded a more structured approach by qualified naval architects, which inevitably resulted in a certain degree of standardisation. James A. Pottinger's new illustrated volume concentrates solely on the graceful wooden boats, large and small, regarded by many to be the best looking boats of all. Many boats are photographed at sea, while other views range from repairs being carried out to the more melancholy sight of beautiful craft being cut up. Boats were once scrapped only due to old age, but sadly political factors now often dictate the destruction of the classic wooden craft included here.

Book Description
Trevor J Potter, I was born in a small town called Beccles, in Suffolk, England. I did my first trip at the age of 13 and the last at the age of 47, spending ten years based out of Lowestoft, about the same out of Grimsby, and the rest of my fishing life from North Shields. Where I now reside.I also fished from Wick in the Moray Firth for a short spell, landing fish in Wick and Aberdeen.This pic was taken in the wheelhouse of the Lowestoft trawler Mincarlo in 2011 she is now a floating museum, it is sad to think that I sailed on her when she was a new boat 1967. That goes to show how fast an industry can die, but I think I was lucky to see the good times in fishing.This picture was taken by my sister Janice Saunders, and she still lives in Suffolk.This book contains some bad language, hope it does not offend but that was part of life at sea.Trevor J Potter.
