the masts on the wheelhouse were added 7 or 8 years ago now when they added more radars and sat coms equipment to her , she's also converted to tow 2 nets now so different aft of the wheelhouse compared to the model

Hullo Davie.....I know it can only be an optical illusion  %)...but you seem to have captured a bend in the vessel just near aft of the bridge & about 10 degrees to Port {-) ........ Derek

Its a bend in the pier , her stern is lying off it the corner of the pier is on her quarter , I have seen photos of boats that have a set ( permanent bend in the hull ) but she's as straight as the day she was launched lol
