'The full fleet' - in the Irish Times

9th July 2009

The Irish Times publishes this morning, with front page billing, the entire 450 boat entry list for this afternoon's Volvo Dun Laoghaire regatta . The entry list over an entire page, appears on page 27 as part of an article entitled 'Dublin - A City of Sails '. Regatta organiser Phil Smith says "it is inevitable that we are being compared with Cowes because of our size". The first race starts this afternoon at 3.25pm

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
