History & Inventory - Skye, Nelson Marek 46
General information
Designed by Greg Stewart of Nelson Marek under the ILC 46 box rule requirements. Constructed in
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).
