The Skellig 26 is a wood version of the Saltee Island. She has the same rugged hull design for use as a workboat/fishing boat for coastal and offshore use. She has a large cockpit and enclosed wheelhouse with space below for a simple wc and/or galley.
The plans give details for the hull to be built in strip Cedar with a round bilge hull and a plywood hull which is multi-chined. In both cases construction is rugged and very strong for work use.
The hull has a U bottomed shape giving an easy riding displacement hull that can be fitted out in a number of different ways. The hull could also be fitted out as a rugged pleasure craft with larger wheelhouse/forward cabin.
