CH Marine—official dealers of Fusion Sailboats UK—have announced the arrival of their first order, introducing this sailboat brand into the Irish market.

Fusion offers a ground-breaking, ultra-modern, one boat solution for families and sailing centres and has gained huge popularity in the UK, becoming the go-to boat for clubs and training centres. A similar interest is expected in Ireland because of its impressive specs.

The high-quality HDPE roto moulded hull has many interesting and well thought out design features to make this boat a leader for training and sail ability. One clever feature allows the boats to stack three high on one trolley, saving space in the boat park or in winter storage.

The dinghy is available in four different rigs: Fusion with standard mainsail, Fusion Duo with standard mainsail, gib and hardware, Fusion Pro with Pro mainsail and gib, and the Fusion Pro Gen with Pro mainsail, gib and gennaker kit.

This boat has the flexibility to suit the main aspects of dinghy sailing from beginner to advanced level.

At an entry-level price point of under €4,000, the Fusion looks set to be a winner.

Cork Harbour Information

It’s one of the largest natural harbours in the world – and those living near Cork Harbour insist that it’s also one of the most interesting.

This was the last port of call for the most famous liner in history, the Titanic, but it has been transformed into a centre for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.

The harbour has been a working port and a strategic defensive hub for centuries, and it has been one of Ireland's major employment hubs since the early 1900s. Traditional heavy industries have waned since the late 20th century, with the likes of the closure of Irish Steel in Haulbowline and shipbuilding at Verolme. It still has major and strategic significance in energy generation, shipping and refining.

Giraffe wander along its shores, from which tens of thousands of men and women left Ireland, most of them never to return. The harbour is home to the oldest yacht club in the world, and to the Irish Navy. 

This deep waterway has also become a vital cog in the Irish economy.

‘Afloat.ie's Cork Harbour page’ is not a history page, nor is it a news focus. It’s simply an exploration of this famous waterway, its colour and its characters.

Cork Harbour Festival

Ocean to City – An Rás Mór and Cork Harbour Open Day formerly existed as two popular one-day events located at different points on Cork’s annual maritime calendar. Both event committees recognised the synergy between the two events and began to work together and share resources. In 2015, Cork Harbour Festival was launched. The festival was shaped on the open day principle, with Ocean to City – An Ras Mór as the flagship event.

Now in its sixth year, the festival has grown from strength to strength. Although the physical 2020 festival was cancelled due to Covid-19, the event normally features nine festival days starting on the first week of June. It is packed full of events; all made possible through collaboration with over 50 different event partners in Cork City, as well as 15 towns and villages along Cork Harbour. The programme grows year by year and highlights Ireland’s rich maritime heritage and culture as well as water and shore-based activities, with Ocean to City – An Rás Mór at the heart of the festival.

Taking place at the centre of Ireland’s maritime paradise, and at the gateway to Ireland’s Ancient East and the Wild Atlantic Way, Cork is perfectly positioned to deliver the largest and most engaging harbour festival in Ireland.

The Cork Harbour Festival Committee includes representatives from Cork City Council, Cork County Council, Port of Cork, UCC MaREI, RCYC, Cobh & Harbour Chamber and Meitheal Mara.
