History
MAID OF THE ISLES was built by J and I Nisbet in 1959 in Mid Yell, Shetland. She was one of the early successful 'Maid'Class following on the success of MAID OF THULE. She is still a very traditional whillie type with a good sailing performance, that would plane or surf under the right conditions. November 2009
