RE: Endeavour edits
I apologize for my recent revert to your edits on Endeavour...it was clearly trigger-happy and I promptly undid it along with the warning I posted on your talk page. After having recently returned to Wikipedia, I am still a bit rusty, but it's best that my mistakes are recognized rather than left alone. Best wishes for the new year!

SY Nahlin's TENDER
The entry indicates the TENDER was built at Robertson's Yard, not the S Y Nahlin (which was built at J Brown's on the Clyde)
Robertson's Yard specialised in building tenders (motor boats, lifeboats, owners motor launch, sailing dinghies etc) for larger yachts/ships (over 120 ft) which were usually constructed in the big shipyards further up the Clyde.
This luxurious 28ft LOA teak plank carvel motor launch was built to special order for the designer, at a cost of £246 7s 1d. This was logged as Robertson Boat 40 in the build ledger, and indicates that this was Mr G L Watson's last design. The company of Messrs G L Watson and Co went on to design many other boats.
