The IWAI have a list on their site. http://www.iwai.ie/boatingservices.html#Surveyors If you are going to be boating on the Shannon, there is a lot of good info for owners on their site. http://www.iwai.ie/index.php

I got my first taste of the River Shannon in a hired Ocean 30 in 1973. Three of my uncles, used to hire one every year for a lad's week away. One year they took me and a mate along, we were 12 or 13 at the time. We had a two week trip, and went from Lough Key in the north Shannon all the way...

Killaloe, Mountshannon, Terryglass and Portumna ;)

Brilliant, some real contenders there for Darwin awards, especially the grenade guys, PMSL at that one!

Have to agree with Nautorius, It would want to be a very very big barge or a small ship for "4 self-contained dwellings". People tend to think the inside space of a stripped out barge is huge, but when fitted out you'd be surprised how the interior space shrinks. There are quite a lot of 70ft to...

I agree, that boat has been for sale for a while, they need to get realistic with the price if they want to shift her. If I had that kind of cash, I would be going for this.... http://broom.apolloduck.ie/feature.phtml?id=288438 .....Now there is someone who is serious about selling, and have...

There is a nice one for sale here on the Shannon... http://motorboats.apolloduck.ie/feature.phtml?id=75536

Noel, How long did it take you from Portumna to Killaloe with WOT? It would take me the guts of 4 hrs WOT :eek:

We have one of the ex Derg Line 38 ft Birchwoods, name is Enniskerry, original name from her hire days. She has a black canopy over the back deck, I did meet you briefly a few years ago in Mountshannon, I will keep an eye out for OF too. Mick

Noel, I'm in Shannon Sailing in Dromineer since 2012, I was in Banagher before that in Lusmagh. Mick

There is a guy who took a 33ft Steel Boat from the Upper Shannon, to the French Canals by sea. He wrote a book about the journey. http://www.amazon.co.uk/DRIFTWOOD-Fr...=pd_sim_kinc_4

Oh no.....there goes the neighbourhood! :p But seriously....the more the merrier, will be looking out for you next season Niall. Great pics as usual Noel, you should definitely be looking for commission from Bord Fáilte! And congrats to you and yours on the new arrival. Mick

Try here too when looking for a cruiser. http://motorboats.apolloduck.ie/ Good selection of private sellers and brokers.

Oh no, there goes the neighbourhood....or should I say River! Empty Buckfast bottles littering the green in Dromineer :p But honestly, look forward to seeing you on Derg Niall, so hold on to that boat. :) Mick
