(Classified as Yacht: date of loss cited as 28 September 1927). Eilean Aches: this vessel was wrecked on the South end of Fladdy [Eilean Fladday], near Raasay.

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Eilean Fladday is situated in the Sound of Raasay, immediately W of Raasay itself.
An alternative location on Fladda-chuain [name: NG 361 815] may be suggested, but appears improbable.
This vessel presumably stranded. It remains unclear whether she was sail-, steam- or motor-driven.
