120552: MFV Delight (SY186)
The MFV Delight was a 60ft keel Zulu fishing boat originally built for sail and skippered by Donald Campbell, 13 Gravir. The boat was sold to a crew from Point and they converted her by adding two 60hp Kelvin paraffin engines.
On January 31, 1953 in a severe winter storm the MFV Delight was sunk in the Minch with no loss of life. The crew eventually landed on Gruinard.
