What a night for Sligo Yacht Club at the Irish Sailing Awards. First up was Sarah Nicolson winning Senior Instructor of the Year. All of us at Sligo Yacht Club were grateful for Sarah’s hard work and competence last summer. She pulled out all the stops in a very difficult year to deliver a fantastic programme of sailing. It was lovely to see her abilites being recognised at a national level.

Congratulations also to Dave O’Connor member of Sligo Yacht Club and winner of Sailing Centre of the Year with his training centre Wild West Sailing.

Mirror World Championships 2021 is feeling sad.

Well we hoped,prayed,wished and had everything crossed for a different outcome but sadly it was not to be the case. We have had to make the decision to postpone the 2021 Mirror World Championships due to Covid19 and the ongoing restrictions around travel.A new date will be confirmed as soon as possible. But until then stay safe and keep sailing when you can..

We are now taking booking for our Junior Sailing Courses. These have a new format this year because of public health restrictions. Check out our courses page for more details.

We have just begun building our new web site. Please bear with us while we create our content.
