Circumnavigating Ireland is hardly an unusual thing. Yachts do it every year, but few of the them are like Robinetta. For a start, she is small, just under 7m on deck, and slow. She is also old, having been built in 1937. We like to take care of her, which means not putting her, or ourselves at risk.

When we set off from Largs in April 2016 with the idea of cruising round Ireland we gave ourselves nine weeks to do it. Due to work the nine weeks were split up through the spring and summer, which ended up giving us much better weather for the trip than we dreamed of!

Day Sailing Round Ireland is the perfect discription of what happened during those nine weeks.

This is the 5th in the series recording our sailing adventures in Robinetta, but is a stand alone book of a major trip.
