Over 100 cruising boats will 'gather' in key 'Gathering' ports in the UK to sail together to Ireland. They will be joined by others from feeder ports. Boats arriving will be greeted at Gateway Ports by dedicated Gathering Welcome Ambassadors and the local community. The 'Gathering' flotilla will leave from the most northerly Gateway ports and head south. As the flotilla passes the other Gateway ports, the assembled boats there will move out to join the growing flotilla. The Gathering flotilla will finally assemble in Kinsale for a Welcome Reception. Flotillas will then have an opportunity to explore the coastline of West Cork and Kerry for a week of unscheduled cruising. Welcome Ambassadors will be on standby to welcome yachts as they arrive. All boats will gather again in Dingle for a Gathering Cruise farewell reception. After the Gathering Cruise there will be a 'Scattering' where all boats will have the option to continue their cruise in a northerly direction in the company of other cruise participants. 2013 dates to be confirmed.
