Here at North Sails Ireland, we are delighted to see our offshore racing community responding proactively to the Cv19 pandemic. The Round Ireland race that's been rescheduled to Aug 22nd will be a highlight in the calendar! Fingers crossed that we will have the environment to allow it to go ahead come August. We are also hoping that a late-season ISORA programme may be possible.

Speaking of offshore racing, here is a real gem for Irish offshore sailors.............from our homes to yours, North Sails invites you to join us and our all-star line up for a master class in offshore sailing on Wednesday, April 22 at 9 pm GMT.

North Sails President, Volvo race veteran and industry-opinion leader, Ken Read, will host a discussion with 11th Hour Racing Team skipper Charlie Enright, and offshore veterans Rob Greenhalgh and Alberto Bolzan. You can only catch this expert group in one place.

Please register today and tune in to this exclusive talk for insights and take away expert tips from the best in sailing.

From your team at North Sails Ireland - enjoy it and best wishes to everyone!

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.
