History

Built in 1930 by Walter Reekie, Anstruther, OLECO is a gaff rigged schooner of carvel timber construction. She has recently completed a major rebuild including a new 210 hp diesel engine by Deucht. It is known that OLECO was in Liverpool in 1988, in Spain in 1999 and in Spain again for her rebuild in 2006, but little is known of her history during the intervening periods. She is presently based in Liverpool.
