Boat History

Built originally as a Spearfish for the Northern Ireland Police. She was initially fitted with a wooden wheelhouse, but when this rotted out, it was replaced by a GRP version.

Named for, and by, Lady Grey, the wife of the last Governor of Northern Ireland.

She has now been converted back to Spearfish configuration (open cockpit)
