This, the largest Oertz schooner remaining, was originally named 'Xenia' and was built for a Greek owner. He enjoyed sailing her in the Aegean and then undertook a circumnavigation. After years of neglect, in 1985 she was found in a mud-berth in England by Cameron Chilston. He undertook an extensive restoration project in Bristol and since her relaunch Aello has enjoyed cruising and racing on both sides of the Atlantic. She participated in the 1997 NYYC Atlantic Challenge with fellow schooner, Adix, and then went on to race further in the Mediterranean. She is presently up for sale. |
