Thanks for the updates Tigh, a friend got some good photos of her up at Gills last week and I thought I would have seen a few on here by now.
I have to go to John O'Groats tomorrow so will take the camera and get some pictures at gills.

Just back from a trip to gills to see the new ferry... got loads of pics, just waiting on my fingers and the camera thawing out before posting them lol
i didn't see many people come off, maybe 5 or so and only 1 car came off though i could see people at the windows as she was berthing. he had a wee bit of trouble, i was expecting him to be in when i got there but he wasn't, the first car came off at 10am.
will post piccies shortly:)

While i was there it took 3 attempts for her to berth, just wondering if the gap between her two hulls caused a wind tunnel effect and kept her from getting in easily, and it wasn't even windy by caithness standards!

One of her bow thrusters was out of action and sailings for the rest of the day were canceled.
I've just arranged to meet some mates in Orkney next weekend and I'm going to take this new boat, can't wait:)

Hear the Claymore will be back on the run later this week.Not having much luck with the cat.
They have to get the claymore licensed again but seemingly it dont have to go to aberdeen to do this.
Might be a little while before the pentalina is ready now.
They have to wait for parts.
typical teething troubles really.
