Irish Boat Jumble

malhiggins

Morning all.

Has anyone ever been to the Irish Boat Jumble which is held yearly in Carrickfergus Sailing Club, Northern Ireland in April.

neris

not been but heard it can be very weather dependent on both sellers and buyers and is hit and miss

Glenalla

Pity the one in Dunlaoghaire is no longer going, Ronan from Leinster Boats did a great job running it.
Heard the one in Carrick is quite good but not as big as it used to be.
Anyone know of any happening this season?

I've been several times, travel time of about 90 mins from Drogheda , parking on site. Good stalls like jimmy green ropes, compass marine etc along with many other stands. I've bought fenders, rope, lifejacket s spares down through the years. There's a lot of junk too but one mans junk is another mans gold.

Resurrecting this thread - is the one in Carrick the biggest one in Ireland? New to this world, need to pick up a few bits ahead of the season.

Thanks

Yes it is the biggest as far as I know.
Unfortunately there aren't many left, they are great gathering points to meet fellow boaters. Would be great to have another in Dublin but on speaking to Ronan from Leinster Boats recently I dont think that will happen unless there is an alternative venue to Dunlaoghaire Harbour.

Why not put a list of the items you need on here and see what other posters may have to offer?

There were a couple of great ones in Kinsale years ago, pity they did not last.

Howth RNLI had one the past few years not very big but it's for a good cause so I buy lots of crap There is one coming up in Greystones on the 6th of April, keep an eye on this for updates on boat jumbles around the country http://www.boatjumble.ie/news.php

Well that was a bit of a let down only 3 stalls

But at least I got a look at the new slipway and very nice it is too

I almost bought a double xl dry suit for 50 quid, it would have been swimming on me so was no use but for two seconds I was hooked

Don't go there I'm drooling over a split cane fly rod on ebay at the moment, I don't have time for fishing, sailing, surfing, snorkeling twins and wife. I'll have to pick three
