Monkstown Bay boaters in Cork Harbour got a pre-season boost with a general tidying up of the town's Sand Quay and boat park extensively used by Monkstown Bay Sailing Club (MBSC).
The improvements come as the Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project in the area passes another milestone, with sewer pipes extending for over one kilometre under the estuary between Cobh and Monkstown - the longest such directional drill in Ireland.
The Sand Quay refurbishment is a work in progress, and there has been a thumbs up for the new surface that replaces the grass.
Works also included widening the second Monkstown slipway at the Cork County Council governed area.
Monkstown Bay Sailing Club will host the RS Southern Dinghy Championships on April 16th.
