- 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.
- We’re sure our readers will keep thinking about this for you.
And we’re delighted that David Hutchinson was so quick to reply to you.

- Peace Pilgrimage going through Crinan Canal now, en route for Faslane
Done. Thank you for the prompt. - New SNP group leader unable to keep the sheep in the pen
‘Minding mice at a crossroads’ is a new one to me. Catches the imagination. Thanks. Lynda - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
We have heard from two highly credible sources this morning that Councillors Gordon Blair and Robert E MacIntyre [Bute] have now resigned from the SNP – but we cannot ourselves understand quite why these two councillors would have done so.
Both are in the ‘Russell camp’.
It is inconceivable that they would have fallen out with their principal.
So, if this information is correct, what’s the move about – because it will be one? - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
The information is not unconfirmed. It is utterly authentic.
The venue was in Lochgilphead and yes, we admit to being more concerned with the content that the venue.
This does not mean that you are wrong – and there is indeed an additional interest in the session being held outside Kilmory. - Minutes of today’s meeting of ‘Concerned Councillors’ Group
Duplicate salaries would not be possible within the rules.
This would be a matter of sharing the leader’s salary three ways for the duration of the triumvirate.

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.

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.

Latest in the search, from my son
“It would appear that the unofficial C&N archivist is a chap called Jeremy Lines, though I believe from one contact that the drawings are in Greenwich. I am awaiting more info.

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.

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”
