!0 stone kits - remember them?

The Crystal Sea after landing - she will soon be sailing away to new home. Her replacement will be the first large steel trawler to come to Newlyn since the Dumnonia back in the 1980s.
Here's one use for an old 10st kit - for those not familiar with the Imperial weights : 16 ounces= 1 pound, 14 pounds(lb) = one stone, 8 stone(st) = one hundredweight(cwt), 20 hundredweights = one ton. One kilo = 2.2 pounds, one stone = 6.4 kilos.

Fish like dogs, ling, pollack, coley and ray or skate were put in kits on the market.
