Irish Coast Sailing Directions Digital Trial

9th March 2012
Irish Coast Sailing Directions Digital Trial

#CRUISING – If you plan to cruise to, along, or around, the Irish Coast the essential pilotage publications are the Irish Cruising Club's acclaimed Sailing Directions (SDs), published in two volumes.

As well as comprehensive and accurate coverage these SDs offer the best update and corrections service in the business, downloadable free from the ICC website, and always up to date. This is a great boost to a skipper's confidence – good information means safe navigation!

This summer the club will be pioneering digital SDs in both web format and as downloadable PDF pages, perfect for PC or iPad. The test area will be Galway Bay and the Aran Islands and these directions will be available free to competitors, visitors and all interested sailors before and during the Volvo Race finish from the ICC website – www.irishcruisingclub.com – where full details of the Sailing Directions to East & North Coasts, and South & West Coasts, can also be found.

ICC SDs are available from chandlers and booksellers, are distributed in Great Britain and the rest of the world by Imray, and in Ireland by Todd Chart Services.

East and North Coasts Directions ISBN 978 0 9558 199 1 9; South and West Coasts Directions ISBN 978 0 9558 199 2 6.

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.
