Michele Zambelli was rescued from Illumia 12 last June during a trans-Atlantic race by the Canadian Coast Guard 650km off Newfoundland.
Michele, who’s a renowned Italian yachtsman, thought his yacht was gone forever until it was spotted floated just off Fermoyle Strand near Cloghane recently.
The skipper travelled to West Kerry yesterday - accompanied by Francisco Crispino where they met Marian O’Flaherty.
