Jolly Roger – ex MFV Comet II Built in 1971, this Norwegian built ex fishing boat is 85ft long overall, with a 22ft beam, and draws12ft of water. She is built of oak, on oak, and is powered by a 500hp V12 Cat. diesel engine. She is currently undergoing conversion to a sailing brig, modelled on the type of ships that would have graced the seas over 200 years ago. This will see her with a forward mast 90ft high, and a main mast reaching 95ft. The conversion will take another three to four years, and when finished the owner hopes to use her for cruising, charter work and tall ships races.
