On the crest of a wave: Royal Cork Yacht Club honoured

It may be difficult as the tail-end of a minor January storm passes over the country to remember how very lovely this country can be for most of the year and how lucky we are to have so many wonderful facilities that allow us to enjoy the great Irish outdoors.

One of those facilities won international recognition yesterday when the oldest yacht club in the world was deemed to have the best marina in the world.

Royal Cork Yacht Club (RCYC) in Crosshaven, Co Cork, was so honoured by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) at the London Boat Show.
