Well-equipped and well-designed wheelhouse The effective wheelhouse layout on White Eagle highlights the many hours of forward planning that brothers Konrad and Kamil Kosieradzki put into their new vessel. The main display screens are centrally arranged in two tiers, forward of two Grammer seats positioned either side of an island console, on which the Simrad AP60 autopilot is fitted. Slim wing fishing consoles, giving full control of all the main items of deck machinery, are positioned forward to port and on the starboard side aft. Jog steering levers, together with the duplicate Volvo (main) and Kobelt (auxiliary) engine controls, are also positioned at these locations. Seabed mapping duties are performed by a WASSP multibeam sonar system, supplied and commissioned by Bertie McMinn of the Mallaig-based company Western Battery Service Ltd. Vertical sounding is handled by a JRC JFC-130 dual- frequency (50kHz/200kHz) BB sounder. This unit, together with most of the other wheelhouse electronics equipment, was supplied by Tecmarine Ltd of Plymouth/Brixham. The balance of this package includes a Simrad 4G BB radar, two Furuno GP39 GPS receivers, a Simrad AP60 autopilot complete with two follow-up levers, and a JRC JLR-21/31 satellite compass. Communications equipment includes Simrad RS90S and RS20S VHFs, a Standard Horizon VLH-3000A talkback system and an AMEC Camino 701 Class A AIS.

This was the 40ft wooden-hulled, transom-sterned and forward-wheelhouse Stelimar CY 163, which they bought from South Uist skipper Iain Johnson. Stelimar was originally built by Herd & Mackenzie at Buckie in 1988 for Duncan

and DJ MacRae, at the same time as its sistership Guiding Light CY 127 was in build for Donald and Hector Stewart. The two sets of brothers have run Kallin Shellfish as equal partners since 2000, thereby providing crucially important shellfish-processing capacity and niche markets for premium-quality locally caught shellfish in North Uist. Stelimar was replaced in 2013 when K&K Fishing bought the 59ft Kelly BCK 625 from James Monnaghan of Islay. Herd & Mackenzie built the wooden-hulled Kelly BCK 303 in 1983 as a gill- netter for Danbrit Fishing Company of Grimsby. The vessel was subsequently rigged for side-trawling, fishing from Whitby for a time under skipper Arnold Locker. Kelly was later converted for scalloping, during which time the vessel had several owners, prior to being sold to Shetland earlier this summer when ‡ A newly painted Kelly BCK 625 moored in Kallin harbour.
