Ecume De Mer 26ft

Ecume De Mer 26ft Cruiser/racer Sailing Yacht. Condition is “used”. Collection in person or delivery via can be arranged for a reasonable cost.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 has since been bought by myself in early 2021 and was sailed down the coast to Portishead accompanied by shoals of porpoises 🙂 , used and stored in the marina before being lifted out to carry out maintenance and now to be inspected by her next proud owner.The Ecume De Mer (EdM) has great sea keeping abilities as “the Sailing Frenchman” displays in his youtube channel- he took his across the Atlantic. PBO featuerd the EdM in Dec 2019 as a pocket-rocket cruiser racer and I’ve included links below to YachtingMonthly and YBW articles online. There is also a healthy Facebook community of staunch EdM owners due to their great performance and affordability.DescriptionSkellig is a 26ft/ 8.92m sailing yacht1976 Cruising version of this popular 1/4 tonner manufactured in GRP with a cast iron fin keel (draft 1.25m).
