Launching Boat in Dun Laoghaire

Friday saw the exciting moment went our new boat "Close to the Edge" touched Irish water for the first time. At about 10am we towed her down to Dun Laoghaire Harbour where we arrived at the boat lifting crane operated by MGM boats. Once we had all her covers removed we backed her into the lifting area under the crane, this would take a couple of goes to get perfectly aligned.
