Two nice sailing vessels appeared at Holyhead during August. Firstly on the 12th August at the public quay Holyhead was the 36 foot yacht Tramontana, originally built in 1934 the yacht was on route to Conwy when slight misfortune meant she required Holyhead lifeboat to bring her alongside. eight days later another smart looking vessel the viking-esque Valtyr 2741 entered the outer harbour to the landing point. This 55 foot craft on first viewing looks much older but was only built in 2009.
