We got quite the visitor moored off Helvick today.

The 100 year old A.K. ILEN, a 56-foot wooden sailing ketch, built in 1926 in Baltimore, Cork. It is notable as Ireland's last remaining traditional ocean-going wooden sailing ship.

Spent a lot of its life working in the Falklands before being repatriated in 1997 and is now operated by https://sailingintowellness.ie/fleet/
