Compact Interiors: Planning Space on Working Sailboats
Dun Laoghaire Marina, Harbour Road, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin
This tour explores the specialist compact design skills required to prepare sailboats for extended passages at sea. Crews require rest areas, cooking facilities, sleeping areas, and shower/toilet facilities, all carefully designed into the smallest hull possible. The lighter the hull, the faster it will sail. The smaller the overall envelope, the easier it is to park, crew, manage, and afford. And so, a great deal of thought goes into designing boat interiors, and tailoring them for the needs of individual owners. We will be providing tours of four different sailboat interiors.
Meeting Point: Dun Laoghaire Marina. Harbour Road, Dun Laoghaire. A96D376.
Pre-Book Only
Accessibility Information
The four boats will be moored together in one location. The walkways leading down to them are broad and secure. We will have someone at hand to walk the visitors from the entrance gate down to the boats, and someone to walk them back out again after the tour. Unfortunately, it should be noted that access to the boats by wheelchair users is not really practicable.
