About me…
Driven by self-reliance and a passion for inclusion, Ian Wyllie recently completed a solo Round Britain and Ireland voyage aboard Trilleen, a classic 1979 Vancouver 27. Following a lumbar spinal injury, Ian personally refitted Trilleen and learned to sail her single-handed, turning his rehabilitation into a journey of empowerment to support the Andrew Cassell Foundation the specialist charity creating competitive disabled sailors.
