Yes, Ian, I was going to say roughly the same toLucy. Manx Gaelic has a varied written history and both spellings are completely standard.However i must say I've never seen a photo of the nameplate on the boat, so Lucy may well be completely correct that Ellan was what was actually written on it.Anyone know for sure?
As a footnote, she was launched as "Mona's Isle". We all know what happens when you change a boat's name!
