Strange sailing craft in Wexford

conolan · 2011-06-06 03:07:37

Found this floating in Bannow bay, Wexford. Very well made, used the bladder from a wine box as a sail. Had a keel made from plastic. No markings or identification. After examining it we sent it on its way again.

Off Baginbun beach. Could well have landed on the beach, as the wind was NE and tide was flooding.
