#NewMarina? Wexford County Council’s Chief Executive, Tom Enright has revealed ambitious plans for a €35 million development that may include a new marina along the town’s iconic Trinity Wharf site.

According to the Wexford People, the county council, which recently bought the site from NAMA for €800,000, a 10th of its value a decade ago, is planning to establish a high-quality business park there, creating at least 1,000 new jobs. Asides the possibility of a marina the development facilities are for a 'modest' hotel, restaurants, cafes, pubs, residential units and a public park.

The project will be a 'less dense' and more jobs friendly version of the development than the Celtic Tiger project that years ago had been planned for the 10-acre brownfield site by business magnate Derry McPhilips, but which never came to fruition.

About J Class Yachts

The J Class has its roots in the oldest sporting race in the world, The America’s Cup.

The founding of the J Class Association (JCA) in 2000 to protect the interests of the Class, present and future, accelerated a real revival. 

Class Rules were established for the construction of replica rebuilds from original plans and several replicas and original designs were subsequently built. 

The class, which today comprises nine boats, now has an annual calendar highlighted by the Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing seasons.
