John Killeen, one of the Volvo Ocean Race stopover organisers and now a freeman of Galway, has opened a new low-rent watersports centre near the new slip commissioned specifically for the stopover, the Irish Times repots this morning.
The centre will open later this year and house facilities for groups of sailors, divers and kayakers.

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.
