Marketing Description

Skellig is named after the wild islands off the west coast of Ireland where her previous owners would sail every summer from their base in Brittany. More recently Skellig was based in Pwllheli where she participated in ISORA races. The previous owner bought her in 2016 and had cruised more sedately around Anglesey and the Llweyn. Skellig was bought in 2021 and sailed down the coast to Portishead
