Length: 770 feet
Breadth: 3 feet 6 inches
Depth: 1 foot 3 inches
Longest straight stretch: 90 feet
Tunnels: 6, totalling 356 feet, the longest 100 feet.

The website for Boat Holidays Ireland, which included a list of members of the Irish Boat Rental Association, seems to have disappeared. I don’t know whether it has been replaced or whether IBRA members have ceased cooperation. I can’t find any useful information on the website of the Irish Marine Federation.
