Weather permitting next weekend i have the chance to go of on the boat for a week. Based in the Solway i am wondering what restrictions are in place if i head for Irland north and south, wales, I o Man or the clyde. The rya website is months out of date so am struggling to find current restrictions on landing.

There is no restrictions on the Clyde for sailing, marinas are open , but check each one, and travel restrictions are only advisory in the central belt. , the other rules apply

Yes there are already “advisory” restrictions on travel across many areas of Scotland, including the mainland Clyde coast and bizarrely Arran.
And if going from next weekend (ie not from today), be aware that there will probably be new restrictions in place in Scotland from 2nd November. With Ms Sturgeon’s penchants for restricting travel, watch out for the new rules (though once underway in a small boat, I suspect most in the Clyde would be flexible if avoid going ashore too often). Pack your own supplies before departure - including whisky / beer stocks!

Rep of Ireland have gone back to full lock-down for 6 weeks, we're only allowed to travel 5km from home apart from 'essential' journeys, so it isn't great at the moment, but the enforcement isn't too draconian.
Are marinas still allowing you to land or is that a no no
