Description

History & Inventory – Skye, Nelson Marek 46

General information

1995 by Carrol Marine.

Primarily a fresh water boat having spent the vast majority of its life here in the great lakes. Present

owners have owned Skye for the past 11 years. The previous two owners were great lakes sailors.

A sprit was added for ease of handling and to add 22% more spinnaker area. Careful research was

done involving both sailmakers and Greg Stewart to insure proper design and construction of the

sprit/sail package as well as considerations for handicap rating effects. Existing carbon pole and the

pole track remains on the mast if there is a desire to move back to symmetrical spinnakers.

A great deal of development time and effort was spent with Pat Considine the chef designer for UK

Sailmakers developing the sail inventory. Along with development/construction details Pat spent

many hours of on the boat time insuring the sail builds best met performance outcomes.

Winter storage (inside building).

After 37 years of boat ownership the owners will be retiring from owning their own boats. Many of

the miscellaneous equipment and gear acquired over the years can be included in the sale if a new

owner would like.
