About ICC Sailing Directions

The Irish Cruising Club's Sailing Directions are recognised as the premier pilotage guide to Irish coastal waters. The Directions, in two volumes, aim to describe every feasible passage, port, harbour and anchorage on the coasts of Ireland. They are continually updated on the web, and new editions are published every four to five years. They draw on the experience and observations of generations of amateur and professional sailors. Aerial photographs by Kevin Dwyer and sea-level photographs by Geraldine Hennigan are designed to be of navigational value and illustrate the pilotage.

The Sailing Directions can trace their origins back over a hundred years, beginning with Harry Donegan's collection of pilotage information around 1910. In 1929, the newly-formed Irish Cruising Club began publishing this information. By the 1950s, the guide had expanded to cover the entire Irish coast, becoming the standard reference for small-craft pilotage in Ireland.

Your copy of the ICC Sailing Directions can be kept up to date through regular Amendments available to view or download online until a new edition is published.
