Thank you so much for posting. I own V3361 here in Charleston, SC USA. You are my big brother. Our boats are near identical to the blue upholstery in the saloon and placement of the compass. Well done.
Last May I took a class at my school in the States that had me staying at WIT in Waterford for 2 weeks. For one whole day, we went to the Saltee Islands to walk around and experience the scenery. It was absolutely incredible, and honestly has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life to this point... but seeing Kilmore Quay in the state it's currently in made me quite sad.
Glad you enjoyed the Saltees. Yes it's a beautiful place. I don't live in Kilmore Quay, but just wondering what you see is the problem with the village ? The council have pumped a lot of money into it over the last number of years. Cheers and best wishes, Nigel.
That was a tight squeeze between those rocks! I'd like to stop there someday, thanks for showing the anchorage, I saw no obvious place, (I don't have the ICC pilots.) Thanks for calling by my channel too. I did see your previous Saltee videos some time ago.
Yes a great sandy cove at the back of the Gt Saltee with great shelter if the wind between west and north east but often a bit of a sw swell coming in. Great in settled weather.
Hi Richard, yes still have Eager Vega. 18 years now but need to spend a few bob on her this winter. New Engine on order and new canvas gear. Always a few for sale, check the ads..
Hi T.J. Thanks for comment, glad you liked. Liked your videos as well. Great cause. I have a small berth in Kilmore Quay. Great marina, costs about €1800 for the year. Cheers..
Yes always a big waiting list, but sometimes a specific size berth becomes available. With boats getting bigger everyone wants the bigger berths. Worth putting your name down, just contact harbour office. I always liked Youghal, best wishes whatever you decide..
Very beautiful Vega!
Thank you, she looks a lot better now, or will do when she comes out of winter mode.. New Engine, spray dodgers etc..
Love the boat love the set up

Thanks Manning Harvey, good to hear from you. I just need new canvas gear and she will be near perfect.

Thanks John, my first proper attempt at editing. I think I will have to update my computer and software shortly. I think my computer still has valves!

Tidy Vegas draft is a plus

Have you still got her
Yes, all good tks. New engine, canvas gear and furlex over last two years. Better than ever!! Hope all good with you..
Urgh! Fenders on deck.
Nice boat. Awful music, but nice boat :)
Thanks for comment! My first try, hopefully the music will improve....
how much did your boat cost I want to buy one like that
Always many for sale asking between about €6K and €15K. Just Google Albin Vega for sale.
Interesting footage, terrible music
