This will definately become a big thread and we can break it down later. I am compiling detailed information on the up to date information on our coastlines facilities. Details and updates will be posted to dedicated cruising pages on sailing.ie. If you have any inside information about a particular port - dodghy moorings, great moorings, useful local mechanic, friendly shop that delivers to the pier - anything us cruising sailors will find helpful as we explore our wonderful coastline.

We want to help represent you, the cruiser, at government and local level. Tell us your problems and we will try and help where we can.
