And a few more .This 69 was delivered to me in May 1969,a bit modified now but is the original shape . I remember ringing Jack Stokes (0wner 0f Shetland boats) and asking if my boat is built,his reply was "no it`s still in the tin"...........

That was kind of you Keith uploading you're rare '69' brochure, I wouldn't be surprised if Admin adds it to Boat Specs and/or Brochures, its an interesting read and very good to see a picture of the original boat. I still don't think the front is the same as the boat I originally posted about though.
As to you're boat, my goodness you've done a lot of work there, it looks well sorted and you're main engine arrangement is interesting. Wouldn't mind a closer look round White Mist. I thought my dashboard was busy, yours puts mine to shame, what are all those gauges? I see you've retained one of the original nav lights and used it on the rear, it works well there. I've been looking for a pair of the original side ones for three years now for our boat but they seem to be very difficult to find.
