#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.
