to Damen Cowell, I remember your grand father when he was on the deejay. he was indeed a very good skipper. I worked out of the small welsh fishing port of Conwy which always had ties with Fleetwood. I sailed on a Fleetwood trawler which worked out of Conwy in the late 1970′s Constant Hope. The skipper was Alex Randells who originally was from Fleetwood and he was one of the best skippers around at that time. Ask around if anyone remembers him.

Regards

John
