This "One Off" three berth iroko on oak ketch was built by John Tyrrell of Tuskar Boat Construction in Wexford and has been well looked after by her one owner from new. She was launched in 1979 and has been wintered ashore every year since new. "Capella" comes with a powerful 40HP Perkins diesel engine and has been sailing out of Crosshaven from new. Her inventory includes, new keel bolts, mainsail, furling genoa, mizzen, spinnaker, blooper, lazybags (for main and mizzen), recent gas cooker, GPS, depth, VHF, autopilot and more.
