Wexford registered visitor - McDuff Ship Design's Elle Adhamh

Formally the Efficient built in 1931 by Forbes at Sandhaven and later renamed the Excellent is still waiting for her sailing orders......
twin water jet motors power this unusual semi-rigid Hurricane 1400.....
the biggest prawn trawler to visit Newlyn, better known in her own waters as the 'Dairy Milk' boat.....
the McDuff designed Ellie Adhamh has a huge twin-rig set up on her fully shelterdecked stern....
and a bow very reminiscent of the Spanish design vessels that work the deep waters of the Little and Great Sole banks south of Ireland.....
the yachts are few and far between at this time of year, and those that remain are of a fair size.....
bound in from a day on the pots....
the Dom Bosco passes the outbound gig rowers in the gaps.....
a handful of beamers remain in port......
including the Admiral Gordon gleaming in the evening sun with her now look topsides.....
along the prom the light reaches the time in French known as crepsicule........which makes the MCAs Anglian Princess all the more visible.
