At Viking Marine, we are always looking for ways to help our sailors out with their innovative ideas.

As we know sailors are a resourceful bunch, none more so than Derek De Jong of #designconcepts, a local graphic design company.

Check out the idea he came up with for a ' Cleatcatcher' following a conversation with the team in Viking Marine at Dun Laoghaire Harbour

Some Allen Brothers spring clips and an extendable boat hook handle... such great thinking outside the box and design concepts from all concerned.

Happy sailing, Derek!

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
