Baltimore (West Cork) to Dingle (Kerry) Fri Aug 6- Sun 8
Join in Baltimore on Friday and enjoy an evening sail west to Cape Clear or Crookhaven on the first leg of the weekend voyage. Sail past the Fastnet Rock and around Mizen Head and on to Bantry Bay on Saturday morning. After a lunchtime stop on the outer tip of the Beara peninsula we cross the border to Kerry and it's onward across the Kenmare River for an overnight stop in the delightful Derrynane Harbour. The voyage continues on Sunday with a great sail by Valentia Island and the famous Skelligs (pictured right) before crossing Dingle Bay to enter Dingle Harbour. This is a great milebuilder as we will sail 80 miles on some of the most dramatic coastline in Ireland.
Dingle to Cork Harbour Sun 15 Aug - Fri 20
A great opportunity to see the best of Ireland from the sea! Sail from Dingle to Valentia and on to the Skelligs, cross the Kenmare River and see Dursey and Bere Islands and the Bull Rock. See the dramatic Bantry Bay and pass the Mizen. See the Fastnet Rock (pictured right) and explore Carbery's 100 isles and visit Baltimore or Cape Clear. Enjoy the West Cork ports of call - choosing from Barlogue, Castletownsend, Union Hall, Glandore, Courtmacsherry and Kinsale before sailing to the SailCork base at East Ferry Marina in Cork Harbour. You will sail nearly 200 miles in the week and visit at least a dozen ports of call and anchorages. This is definitely THE best stretch of coastline in Ireland - this is a chance to see it all in one week!
