Summer Sailing Courses Have Set Sail!

Summer Sailing Courses Have Set Sail!

Course 1 of our summer programme kicked off on Tuesday with lots of enthusiastic junior sailors taking to the water in their Optimists, Toppers, and Fevas.

It’s been a fantastic start, with participants learning new skills and honing old ones under the summer sun.

Meanwhile, our Big Boat Sailing Course has seen the J80s out in full force, cruising around the bay daily.

Today, the group is heading down to Killiney Bay for an exciting day sail — complete with a refreshing swim near Vico!

With plenty more fun and adventure planned each week, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable summer.

If your sailor is keen to get out on the water, don’t miss the chance — make sure to sign them up!

Registration deadline extended due to popular demand!  Register Here
