They even have the audasity to show a sailing yacht (complete with stepped mast) in their artist,s impressions, how do they expect us to get up under the bridges, and where do they expect us to moor up?
In fact they dont expect us to do either, as per usual with the majority of river side developments on the upper Clyde in recent years.
So much for the Clydes history of shipping, boats etc.
Rant over.

A quick glance at Clydeport Freebie suggests that as long as your stick is <10m + drop from HAT you can reach the Tradeston Bridge (if you ask nicely far enough in advance and the wind isn't blowing too hard to open the bridges and you support the right football club) and there's a pontoon at the Broomielaw to tie your pride and joy to (sorry, to which to tie your pride and joy.) Don't know why you would want to.

i don`t think sailing yachts can get to the broomielaw pontoon since they built the squinty bridge. brilliant piece of planning.

Used to be Blytheswood Square when I was young.

Well, compared with the cultural desert that is where we live, Glasgow is music and art heaven. Just the other afternoon we enjoyed the Philip Glass quartets at the Tramway, and the RSNO's Mozart Requiem that evening in the Royal Concert Hall. With the RSAMD, now rebadged as the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, there is an abundance of classical and contemporary music in the city. There really is no end of good music available, which to me counts as "vibrant", but it's dispersed across the city. Jazz, blues and folk music have always been strong in Glasgow; tenorist Bobby Wellins was playing the other day, and Abdullah Ibrahim is coming up soon at the Old Fruitmarket. Also lots of opportunities for piping aficionados.

I've always felt that Glasgow is one of the world's most welcoming, interesting and exciting cities. But then, I'm biased.

So long as one does not want to sail into the heart of it, which can be done in Belfast, (Victoria Basin)

I did go all the way to the Nautical college last spring, but without HBs mast on.
lbb, I have never heard of Glasgow marina.

i agree with that, but then i almost live there. i was just poking a little fun at the use of the word " vibrant ".
" where it`s at ? " referred to the marina, supposedly close to the vibrant city centre.
