Weekday Sailing

Due to the commencement of our Junior Summer Sailing courses on the Monday 15th June, sailors who wish to sail during the Weekdays (0900- 1600) must pre-book a sailing slot using this form. This is solely to ensure that adequate circulation space is available for all sailors on the forecourt and to avoid potential crowding at launch and or recovery.

The Launch service to the West Bight will run daily from 0930 – 1930 on the half hour. If you require a later launch, please contact the boathouse in advance on 086 734 5413 to book. The launch will carry a maximum of two non- same household persons at any one time. 

Boathouse Operating Hours

The Boathouse will be open from 0930 – 2000 daily. If the weather is bad or there is no activity on the deck, it may close earlier. If you have queries, please call to double check. 

Vehicles

No vehicles are permitted access to the Forecourt. If you are towing a keelboat, please request the opening of the gate from the Boatman on duty to drop off your boat and remove your car immediately.
