Mr Smith and Mr Dockerty have been working on the Comfort as skippers and in other roles for many years.
Mr Dockerty started aboard the boat doing the washing-up as a boy, and his wife Francesca often sings with the boat’s jazz band. He gave up his role as a fire-fighting chief to become joint skipper and owner.
