Welcome !
It seems Lochins are very popular with the Dutch as ther are quite a few Dutchies on this forum.
I am originally from Oosterbeek but have lived in New Zealand for over 30 years.
I cannot help you with the history of your pilot boat but am very interested to see how you have made the pilot boat " homely "
My Lochin 33 Life boats conversion is in other threads of this forum .
Can you post some photo s ?
Groeten
Wilfried
Sorry I can't help you with the history of the boat but likewise I am looking forwar dto seeing some pictures of the restoration of your boat. What layouit/engines do you have aboard Pirrette?
