Tweet, tweet! In case you missed them, here's a recap of the weekend's Irish sailing and boating top stories; An Irish superyacht steals the Show in France, Privateer does the same in Kinsale and there's a blustery start in Howth, NUI Galway enter the Round Ireland race, more humpback whales appear (we have the vid), an American sailor is looking for lost love in Ireland, the first cruise ship will arrive in Dun Laoghaire next week (and there's a new Dun Laoghaire dock installed to meet it) Young Finn Lynch from Blessington takes his place on the Irish Youth worlds team named here, there's a dramatic rescue on Fair head and tragically the search for two missing Irish sailors ends in San Francisco.

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.

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.
