Courtown Harbour

[PabloPicasso]

Anyone with recent experience of sailing into Courtown Harbour in County Wexford on Ireland's east coast? Is there enough depth in the entrance for a 5ft draught (and in the harbour itself for that matter) or would I be silly to try and get in there?

Pablo,
I have never been in it myself, but the Sailing Directions states that the entrance has a charted depth of 0.6m and the south part of the inner harbour has 1.0m alongside the wall. The approach is dangerous in strong onshore winds or any onshore swell.

I've never sailed into Courtown harbour but I know from holidaying in the area many years ago that the harbour is quite small and could be difficult to enter in onshore winds.
