Wicklow Sailing Club

Sailing is our major activity – Cruiser racing usually Wednesdays and Sundays, May to September, Dinghy racing usually Thursdays and Sundays in summer and we usually have a Frostbite series on every 2nd Sunday over the winter. Our Cruisers usually fit in a few away trips also, with an annual trip to Portmadoc always high on the agenda. See Sailing Section for more details. After a days sailing, its always a bonus to relax over a few drinks in our friendly clubhouse.

The bar is the main area of activity in the Club and we have 2 rooms available for functions/use – the Bar/Dance area and the Round Ireland room, with overall capacity of c.200 persons (up to 100 sit down). We have a well equipped kitchen to provide meals or snacks. There are male and female toilets/showers and a handicapped toilet also, with access through the back door. The bar is open 7 nights a week during the summer months (Jun/Aug) and from Thursday to Sunday the rest of the year, usually from 8.30pm.

Visiting yachts are expected to berth on the East pier, as the Commercial Harbour is often busy with unloading ships or fishing vessels. Permission can be sought from the Harbour Master in the event of North Easterlies to berth up river on 0404 67455 (Mon-Fri 9-5). There are showers and bar facilities available in Wicklow Sailing Club.
