Try Sailing is an introduction to sailing over 5 evenings and includes club membership for all the current season.
Sailing can appear a little daunting or overwhelming with all the confusing terms, different types of boats, equipment and related skills. Try Sailing is a hugely successful format which aims to welcome complete novices by offering a hands-on taster of what it’s all about, all with and open pathway to continue – if you end up loving it, as so many do.
After an introductory evening ashore, you will be assigned to a sailing yacht under the supervision of the Skipper. Yachts are various sizes from 23ft to over 40ft some are keen racers while others cruise Clew bay.
Each week you will sail a different yacht to give a good overview of sailing. Afterwards you can join in the clubhouse conviviality with other participants. Thursday evening is when Mayo Sailing club runs it’s in house racing series.
There are usually plenty of opportunities to join a crew on Thursdays, with boats that are short of crew and most participants continue to sail until the season end in October – by which time they are well and truly bitten by the sailing bug!
