The Irish weather is not the most predictable so check that sites have indoor facilities in the event of rain. Boating Ireland's waterways are beautiful, uncrowded and clean and you can hire a fully equipped cruiser. Cruisers are fitted with a fridge, cooker, central heating, hot water, shower, charts, dinghy, bed linen, and crockery. They are easy to handle and the inexperienced sailor can receive instruction before casting off. The River Shannon is the most popular cruising waterway but equally attractive are the Grand canal, the River Barrow, the River Erne and the new Shannon-Erne link.
