We wintered over last winter in Porto del Etna boatyard (Riposto). Very good experience overall. Check out their website and email an enquiry.

yes please. I will PM you

Of course, the ICC is available…..as per post #7, do the course in any sailing / powerboat school in Irl and get qualified….

We have just returned from a nearly 2 week tour of Majorca. For our 10.8m yacht, our max was 75€ per night and lowest was 43€. The IB marinas are typically half the cost of the commercial marinas. All included water and electric. Availability was good, we usually only booked 1 day ahead and...

I got one in 2018 from Hudson Marine UK. Their website is showing availability tonight so you should try them. Make sure that you get the 2 parts as it is a 2 part connection kit.

We have our 36Classic for nearly 8 years and are very happy with it. The boat has been across the Atlantic and back with a previous owner. We have extensively toured around Ireland, Scotland and then down to Med. It’s the right size for 2 with occasional visitors. I’m happy to answer any...

+1 for Varadoiro Xufre. Once you are hauled out, the yard give you a dedicated link to a webcam which displays your boat live.
