Snowstar, Ramsgate harbour


Most of the boats in the harbour at Ramsgate, Kent are white. On the day of our visit there were several grey, Royal Navy  boats, a bright orange pilot boat, and few others sporting bright colours. But, the predominant colour was white indicating to me that they were mainly private yachts and launches. The Snowstar stood out with its blue, yellow and orange and it suggested to me that it would make a good foreground subject against the boring white boats. I looked at the boat to see if I could deduce its purpose but nothing told of what it did when it set sail. However, a quick trawl of the internet indicates that it has been, and may still be, a boat that takes anglers out into the English Channel for a day's fishing.
