Last Chance to Support Disabled Sailing Challenge
Celebrate Ian Wyllie’s solo UK and Ireland circumnavigation in Trilleen by donating to the Andrew Cassell Foundation, which helps disabled sailors race alongside able-bodied crews. Every contribution brings more people with disabilities onto the water.
About me…
Disabled sailor Ian Wyllie has completed a solo Round Britain and Ireland voyage in Trilleen, his 1979 Vancouver 27, to support the Andrew Cassell Foundation.
