John
Harte, our Commodore, would like to extend a warm welcome to
all our friends/visitors and hopes to see our own members regularly using the
recently upgraded clubhouse. We now have thriving sailing and house sections
that help contribute to a vibrant active club enjoyed by our members of all
ages.
Wicklow
Sailing Club recently elected our first Lady President in the person of
Sadie Phelan. A long time resident of Wicklow, Sadie has been very
involved in many roles having served as Honorary Secretary for several years, as
the WSC ISORA representative as well as organising many fundraising and social
events including her famous Wine and Cheese evenings and the Round Ireland
Prizegiving dinners. This is a great honour for Sadie and her family and she
will be a worthy ambassador for the members of WSC with her wide circle of
sailing friends from both sides of the Irish Sea.
Our Friendly Little Club

(Click
here for potted history.)
Founded in 1950 the club currently has over
three hundred members, racing in several classes including cruisers,
wayfarers, 420's, lasers, toppers and mirrors. Racing for cruisers
during the summer season is every Wednesday
and Sunday, while racing for dinghy's is held every Saturday afternoon.
Our cruising sailors usually head to Porthmadog in July and sometimes
Caernarvon. We often
take in other cruising trips along the Irish coast. We provide Junior Training
during the month of July and/or August for 10 years old and up.
Wicklow Sailing Club is an I.S.A accredited training centre for junior training levels 1 to 5 and also powerboat training.
Our sailing visitors are always welcome to use the Clubhouse and it's facilities.
We have a very friendly reputation on
Irelands East Coast and love to
hear tales of sailing derring do. The bar is open every night (except
Mon) in the summer
(Jun/Jul/Aug) and Thursday to Sunday
in the winter. (See Newsletter < on the panel). Adequate berthing is available on the quayside
(East pier) or only by prior arrangement on swing moorings.
Wicklow is a busy commercial port, with often 1 or more large ships berthed in
the river and an active whelk fishing fleet, so berthing space up river can be a
problem.
Our
clubhouse is located on the South Quay of Wicklow harbour, adjacent to
the RNLI station.
We are twinned with
Madoc
Yacht Club, our Welsh neighbours in Porthmadog, North Wales.
Now our Town Councils are also
twinned which was formalised in September 2006.
