We look forward to the discussions and announcements that will shape the future of sailing this week and to seeing how the ideas shared here in Dun Laoghaire ripple out to inspire the next generation of sailors around the globe.

To all our international guests — welcome to our harbour, enjoy your stay, and if you have the chance, get out on the water while you’re here.

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.
