Welcome to the Western Yacht Club of Ireland Training Centre. We run sailing courses for adults and juniors (9 years old to 16 years old) in the summer months.
Our courses are operated in the safe haven of Kilrush Marina. Our waters are non-tidal and a perfect place to start sailing. More advanced sailors may occasionally go on supervised sailing trips outside the marina, subject to weather conditions.
All courses are run by qualified instructors in line with Irish Sailing guidelines.
