Try Sailing

Hi All,
A big thank you to all, Skippers and Crew, for all your support in making today such a success, following on from last year’s success.
We had 6 boats on the water and really positive feedback from all the participants. Hopefully we will see them out with us again. Lough Swilly Yacht Club has again showcased what is great about sailing and the sailng fraternity!

Try Sailing Day

Hi Folks,
Could we all gather at the Clubhouse for 3.30 tomorrow and hopefully be on the water for 4.00.
There are 10 adults and 5 juniors.
10 of the participants are kayakers and are comfortable on the water. We have 5 boats participating to date, and some require crew if anyone is available.
There will be tea and biscuits for a short debrief afterwards.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Try Sailing

Hi All,
I’m checking to see which Skippers and Crew would like to be involved in our Try Sailing Day next week. I have a number of bookings and some on a waiting list but, unlike United Airlines, I don’t wish to overbook!
Please contact me as soon as possible if you are taking part and with the numbers you can accommodate.
Thank you for your cooperation in this.

Club Discount – 20% off Competent Crew – Wild West Sailing

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

Please look at our website http://www.wildwestsailing.com/ and check out our Facebook page to see what we get up to on the water!!

We recently sailed around Ireland on a J109 for Cystic Fibrosis #Sail4CF.

Fair winds!!
