Sailing In Dublin: Club Organization

SID Club Ethos

SID was founded by a group of Glenans members as an independent non-profit making club. The basic objective of the club is to offer regular sailing at weekends and in evenings from May to September, in Dun Laoghaire, to people who would not otherwise have an opportunity to sail. This is achieved by sharing the use and upkeep of the sailing fleet without having to invest a large sum of money in purchasing and maintaining one's own boat. Members also take part in winter racing "Frostbites" using the SID fleet.

The club provides its members with :

Opportunities to improve sailing abilities (helming and crewing) through regular sailing
Fully equipped boats with medium performance
Safety boat cover
A base of operations in the inner (coal) harbour, Dun Laoghaire
Experience in boat maintenance and engine handling on safety boat duty
Social events
Opportunity to take part in regattas and winter dingy racing.

The running of the club is totally dependent on the voluntary efforts of members. All members are expected contribute to this effort.

SID is not a substitute for a proper structured ISA approved training course e.g. Glenans Splash or Spray courses.
