Kinsale Library is hosting an exhibition celebrating 20 years of Latitude Kinsale until Saturday, the 13th of July.

The exhibit features artist and sailor Bobby Nash's bespoke nautical charts and 3D wall art.

Based in Kinsale on the south coast of Ireland, trading as Latitude Kinsale, Nash creates a distinct range of exclusive handmade bespoke wall art and furniture with three-dimensional charts. Nash's distinctive creations showcase hand-cut and layered 3D charts that depict coastlines, integrating historic documents for a unique 21st-century appeal.

Nash’s commissions include prestigious prizes for events like the Volvo Ocean Race, the J Class America's Cup, and the Superyacht Cup.

Kinsale Yacht Club located in Kinsale, County Cork lies just 120 nautical miles from Wales, 240 from North West France and only 500 from the Galician Coast of North Spain.

Kinsale Yacht Club is only a few minutes walk from every shop, hotel, pub and restaurant in Ireland’s gourmet capital but most significantly it is only 30 km by road from Cork, Ireland’s second city, and between the two lies one the region’s main assets - Cork International Airport - with its daily links to many European capitals.

Club members, of which there are more than 600, race Cruisers, One Design Keelboats and Dinghies.

The club runs inshore and offshore races, has an active cruising scene, a powerboat section and most significantly for any real club, a strong and dynamic junior training programme.

Beyond the club’s own marina is the club house itself and the dinghy park. Within the clubhouse are changing rooms, bar and restaurant all with full wheelchair access. The club’s full-time secretariat, steward and marina manager are there to look after sailing visitors and members alike in a relaxed, informal and fun environment.

The club welcomes new members and has always got room on its members’ yachts for new comers to the sport.
