David Hutchinson, if there is someone who’s where you would get plans it will be David, he has a outstanding knowledge of almost every boat that came out the yard and will be a great help to you restoring it.
Enjoy the project great to see historic boats being cared for.

Has funding been cut for this organisation or are visitor numbers down in general?I think school trips should be made to visit projects like this instead of going abroad. I don’t know anything about why or how abroad trips are funded so say this with no knowledge of how it works. I speek only as a regular visitor to the project. Great tea room staff and very interesting museum, hope it survives

It would be good if Mr Russell could explain the whole Argyll administration mess to his voters. If you could do that in straight forward English would help. Why after telling us you could run a administration better than the last administration you pulling every stroke to get your party out of administration, or is that not the case.As you asked for my vote based on this and many others, I feel very cheated as do many others in the area?

I hope that all the independents and Tories and labour councillors make sure that they Keep the SNP in administration as a lesson to everyone who wants a easy ride in power. This is what they fought for at the last election (we can do a better job of running the Area)?Okay if your found out that you actually don’t have the depth of experience to do that and need to run from that position, not able to take the strain then you have failed. Three leaders in one year is massive failure on a grand scale.
Do the powers that be think that if they get out of power they will b anything but a failure. Do they actually think that the majority of Argyll voters would vote for independence based on this mess they have made in Argyll todate. This seems not to be a worry by Alex Salmond who obviously has no interest in Argyll and our lives here.
If only we could express a no confidence vote in the SNP we really need a clear out
- Coastguard understaffing issue even more serious than thought
I’m told that they are flying staff from Greenock to Belfast to cover short staffing situations.
That must really be saving money ? NOT - Scottish Government forced to intervene on loose-mouthed Russell gaffe in Campbeltown
What often happens in this sort of public political system of leadership of party political groups is that you find that the leader does not let in anyone that appears to be smarter than them selfs . So if you have a buffoon at the top as a bench mark you end up with something like what we are seeing as a yet another administration in Argyll.I’m very sure this sort of thing has been going on for ever and we just never had a outlet to hear that type of news. So thx you For Argyll for running this stuff, they clearly hate that fact as it actually means they are accountable and under the spot light.

The answer just arrived. Unfortunately David Hutchinson has no plan concerning Fair Judgment III ex Taiseer V.
I keep my quest.
Many thanks

Might want to try contacting Toward Sailing Club. There are a few members of the Robertson family there that may be able to point you in the right direction.

If Taiseer V was built to Lloyds 100A1 (which is likely, but I don’t have my old copy of the Lloyds Register with me to check)(or even a lesser Lloyds Classification) then plans will have had to be submitted to Lloyds who would have overseen the construction.
It is very likely these plans are still held by Lloyds.

I was suffering in the rain around Tower Hill, lunch time today, and decided to pop into Lloyds Register to have a look in the library, and get out of the wet.
Yes Taiseer V/Fair Judgment III was registered +100A1 at Lloyds, until the suvey due in May 1978 was missed.
Unfortunately that ends the goods news. Lloyds say that they don’t have a copy of the plans….they were very helpful.
Fair Judgement III was owned for a number of years by Peter Carter-Ruck, a well known lawyer of his day. Unfortunately he died in 2003, so that trail is cold.
The last registered owner in Lloyds was Pitcher & Scott, Civil Engineers. They were registered in Scotland but appear to have been dissolved.
End of trail, though I’ll ask my son, who works in the industry, whether he has any ideas.

Jeremy Lines should be a good source of information, he was on the C&N design staff. The plans may be in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, but other places to try are the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, one of the main archives in West Scotland, and the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh. Carter-Ruck’s firm is still in existence in London, you could try them as well.

FABULOUS result.
We couldn’t be more delighted – or more respectfully grateful to readers who have gone around some inventive corners to help Pierre Primot in his quest for Taiseer V’s plans.
Thanks to all of you.

Received the following from Pierre Primot
“Here it is.
The available plans in the National Maritime Museum arrived at home.
They’ll be helpful during the restoration.
Thank you again for your help”
