The Peedie Lass

Date Added: 25 October 2007 Contributor: Georg von Tiesenhausen Year: 2006 Picture No: 2024

Georg took this photo in September 2006 whilst on holiday.

He says "The boat intrigued me greatly because it seemed to create in me a mood of nostalgia. I wondered what stories it could tell - the many places it has visited, the different people who sailed her. I quickly snapped a shot, which has now become one of my favorite photos."

She can be seen in somewhat better nick, and with cabin intact, in picture #194, picture #217 and picture #347. picture #1731 shows Bobby Hogg with his grandson Iain steering her.

She has indeed many a tail to tell. The current custodian of this once fine little vessel (Son of Bobby Hogg), spends many a happy hour fixing other peoples' boats, and from time to time availing them of his kind advice as to how they may speed up the process of refurbishment. It be time to fix her Robert I think, being the owner of a classic wooden boat I would be happy to assist. Comment left on 25 October 2007 at 10:31 by Ranald Nicolson Matheson
picture #194 actually shows the late Willie Ross's "UPROAR" and the vessel in picture 347 is Ken Muir's "viking" Comment left on 26 October 2007 at 04:15 by Ronald Young
