The NYC held its first post-Covid week-long Sailability Summer Course for 8-17 year-olds from 20th – 24th June.   In fantastic weather with plenty of sunshine Sailability junior sailors had a great week of sailing and boating.   Thanks to the great team of instructors and volunteers there was plenty of fun alongside the learning.  The pictures say it all….Click Here

The TY Sailing Members Program has run for a number of years now, very successfully between the Dun Laoghaire clubs and has proved to be a great way to keep our teenagers involved in sailing, prepare them for instructing and build lifelong friendships so we really hope they get involved.

The main social parts are an Action and Adventure Course, 1720 sailing, Team Racing, Tall Ships, Heir Island Trip, B-Academy and Flossy & The Beach Cleaners.

The Certified Courses are the Powerboat Licence, Navigation, VHF Licence, Mark Laying, Child Safeguarding, First Aid and Disability Awareness.
