Cead mile Failte ~ Welcome ~ Croeso to Wicklow Sailing Club (affiliated to The Irish Sailing Association) home of the BMW Round Ireland Yacht Race - 21st June 2008 2nd March 2008 - follow the above link for some good news on this years race...... Campaign to get the "Sea Stallion of Glendalough" to Wicklow The Danish Museum Authorities (per Preben Rather Sorenson) have confirmed that Sea Stallion will not be coming to Wicklow for the day of the BMW Round Ireland start - 21st June 2008. However, there is a 75% possibility if the weather conditions do not favour them, that they will put into Wicklow to await a favourable tide/weather window (scheduled to leave Dublin Sun 29th June). Start praying to your Christian, Norse and any other Gods that might help get them in for a visit. Our Friendly Little Club
(Click
here for potted history.) 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 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 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. Last updated:-
