Wild West Sailing, based in Sligo, is the Northwest’s newest Sail & Powerboat Training School.
We are offering a 20% Discount on Competent Crew Courses exclusively to west coast & local sailing clubs.
We would all like to see more Adult Sailing course candidates stay in our clubs, move into the racing fleets and increase our membership numbers. After consultation with industry representatives & club officers, we feel we can help bridge that gap. By availing of cheap professional yacht training, your new club members will maintain a steep upward learning curve, and progress quickly and competently into the racing fleets…all these J24s won’t sail themselves!!
After completing an Adult Sailing Course, new members taking the 5 day Competent Crew course will return to their clubs with a greater understanding of the skills and teamwork involved in crewing a yacht. We can make the transition between dinghies and yachts painless & ultimately keep more new members coming back to the clubs.
Competent Crew candidates learn all the basics
- Using winches
- Tacking & Gybeing as a crew
- Sail hoists & drops
- Mooring to a buoy
- Marina mooring
- Anchoring
- GPS & VHF
- Boat Handling
This is the Best Value Sail Training in Ireland
