Here at North Sails Ireland, we feel blessed to be associated with the larger North Sails team that designed, manufactured and delivered the sails used in the recent America's Cup finals and Prada Cup Challenger series finals.

We are lucky to be able to reach out in person to these NS colleagues and pioneers at the very top of our sport - such is the benefit of having a truly "flat" organisation.

The "Trickledown" effect is evident really quickly. An example will be some Helix load-sharing 3Di headsails that we will be delivering this season for Irish IRC clients.

Sail FAST folks!

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.
