We are delighted to announce that our Try Sailing and Sailing Course applications are now live. These initiatives form part of our overall Youth Pathway launched back in February. Please note that numbers will be somewhat restricted due to COVID guidelines / capacity constraints and therefore applications will be on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. 

Try Sailing:

*Registration Has Now Closed* For courses that are closed but you are interested in, please contact Miriam McMahon in the club office as there may still be possibilities of slots opening up. 

This will now be run on Monday evenings in June rather than May as previously advertised due to COVID restrictions and it still remains contingent on COVID restrictions and guidelines. 

Dates: Monday 7th June, Monday 14th June, Monday 21st June & Monday 28th June;

Time 18.30 – 20.30hrs 

Group 1: age 7 to 12.  

Group 2: Age 12 to 16.

Please bring your own buoyancy aid and suitable clothing for going afloat as the Club is not in a position to provide same due to Covid.

Members: This programme is free of charge for members.

Non Members: There is a €100 cost for non-members, which will be deducted from the membership fee should you decide to join.

From July, Try Sailing will continue on Monday evenings through the Summer as the Cadet Club for members under 12 and the Junior Sailing Academy on Sunday mornings for members age 12 to 16.

Planning is well underway for the commencement of fleet coaching at the beginning of May. Our Principal Coach, Ben Fusco, has provided an update on plans here and should contact your relevant Class Captain in this regard with any queries you may have. 

In order to apply for a sailing course slot the sailor and parent/guardian (as appropriate) will need to have their membership paid up to date.
