Irish Sailing Certified Courses
Welcome to the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland Training Centre. We run sailing courses for juniors from 9 years old to 16 years old in July and August.
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.
Sailing lessons are run on the Optimist Dinghy for children from 9 to 12 years and on the
Topaz, RS Feva and Wayfarer dinghies for more competent or older sailors.
All courses are run in line with government and Irish Sailing guidelines on Covid-19 restrictions.
