Aspiring sailors have the opportunity of sailing around the North Irish Sea and quite often visit at least three different areas chosen among England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and Wales. One week’s sailing generally covers some 200 nautical miles within this culturally rich area. The places visited are steeped in Celtic, Gaelic and Viking folklore, and a rich variety of returning marine life can be observed round the coastlines and at sea.  Maximum of four persons, with a small discount for bookings for 2 or more at the same time. |
