Four times a year, we travel around Ireland and compete with other universities in the national inter-varsity team racing events. Bringing both our experienced team racers and beginners to give them a taste of national sailing regattas.
Occasionally we attend international events where sailors compete in the likes of Glasgow Grouse, giving our students the chance to showcase their skills abroad.
With a host of experienced sailing instructors and international racers, University of Galway Sailing Club is the best place to start your sailing career!
You can check out training times and upcoming events by joining the club via the YourSpace site in the right-hand side of this page.
The club is over 30 years old and has competed at national and international level in dinghies and yachts.
We train at Galway Oceansports Club which is located next to Galway Harbour Docks.
Check our Instagram and WhatsApp groups for information on training, as it changes week-to-week due to changing weather conditions, etc.
We cater for beginners (no experience required) right up to the more advanced competitive sailor and everything in between.
Please bring your own gear if you have it - Change of clothes, towel, swimsuit, wetsuit, old pair of runners/booties, salopettes, waterproof jacket, gloves, woolly hat etc...
Please note that training is weather and tide-dependent. If we think a session will be blown out due to bad weather, we will advise you in advance and do our best to organise a theory session or other activity as an alternative.
