Mullingar Sailing Club is seeking to recruit new members for the 2026 season via our 'New Adult Membership Programme'. Training this year will be provided by our qualified sailing instructors with assistance from expierienced club members over the course of four dedicated training days, currently planned for June 6/7, and June 20/21

Applicants will also be encouraged to actively participate in club sailing activities on Lough Owel throughout the season, and to take up crewing opportunities with existing club members when they arise. This will help them to develop their sailing skills and eventually progress to taking the helm of their own boat, or continue to crew if they so wish. The club has a limited number of boats which may be made available for lease or hire to new members upon achieving the necessary standard of proficiency.

The programme fee is €200 per person which includes participation in all training days, and club membership for the first season. New members can then be invited to apply for regular club membership the following year.

No previous sailing experience is required, however if you have sailed before this programme will help you to progress at your own level and pace.

As sailing is a weather dependent sport, Mullingar Sailing Club cannot be held responsible for time lost due to adverse weather. In the event of scheduled training days or time being lost due to adverse weather, we will do our best to re-schedule training time on another date.

Please bring your own lifejacket, wetsuit, splash/wind proof jacket, appropriate footwear (runners or boots with good grip would suffice).

If you have any questions, please let us know by sending your enquiry to the email address on the booking page.
