Goldie, are the FCS on the Peacocks the same as the ones on Niamh and Roisin? I think the latter have Radomac 1500 but not sure if its the same on the Peacocks?

The FCS on the peacocks were upgraded a few years after they were bought. I know they are the same makers, but not sure if they are the same version.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
Getting ahead of myself, but, is there a snowballs chance in hell of P21/22/23 or 31 being preserved as a museum/training vessel?
It would be nice to see one being saved as an example of Irish shipbuilding - but I'm aware that the costs may well be prohibitive.
There are at the moment, hundreds of ships around the world rusting away as the funds required to keep them in museum condition are no longer available. A better option would be to pass them onto someone else, in calmer waters, and let them live out their days as working ships, not rusting away as relics.

On that front the old Lightship in Kilmore Quay was recently cut/dug up and done away with.Seemingly part of the structure was failing and a danger but more importantly the hull was buried exposed to seawater rising in the mud alongside on the tide and rusting and the effluent was polluting the harbour.How not to preserve a marine relic!
