Information
Kinsale in County Cork is one of the most picturesque, popular and fashionable resorts of the south-west coast of Ireland. Famous for its beautiful yachting, sea angling, gourmet restaurants and golf. For those of you who would like to improve your English, there is the excellent Kinsale School of English and Art galleries
Kinsale can easily claim its place amongst Ireland's most historic locations for this has been a centre of population, commerce, trade and fishing far beyond memory and record. In its earliest days the estuary of the Bandon River gave it great importance as the river is tidal as far as Innishannon and water transport was dominant until the 18th Century.
The estuary also provided excellent anchorage for ancient shipping which went in peril of the vagaries of the weather.
The Town nestles between the hills and the shoreline, a maze of narrow streets, never far from the water and little changed in many hundreds of years. Amongst buildings of later periods are those of another age with historical links to the French, Spanish, British and Americans.
My wife and I are American, and have been living aboard our 12-meter sloop in Ipswich, UK the past two winters. For next winter, we are looking for alternatives and thought that Southern Ireland would be a possibility. Friends have suggested Kinsail.
Can you briefly tell us whether your berths are suitable for living aboard in the winter. Also, are there any other liveaboards or would we be pretty much on our own? Finally, can you tell us the approximate cost to winter afloat (say Oct 1 thru March 31)?
Many thanks

Great idea for visitors, pity you only feature coastal towns though.
Just a thought
Thanks J&L
Thanks Barry and Julie.
Kinsale was good as well.
we dont have any records at Harbourguides, but you could try the Kinsale yacht club, they may know a way of finding out. The email address is as follows : info@kyc.ie
Good Luck
I would like to ask if there are any records of a Edward Hurley Harbour Pilot
approx. 1830-1850 ?. He had a son Randal DOB 1835 who went into the
Royal Navy. If you could point me in the right direction many thanks.
