  • Course places are offered on a first come first served basis.  Unless you are a private boat owner, places are limited by the number of club boats available.

  •  If the week you want to book is not available have a look at the availability in other weeks.  Email [email protected] or whats app message details to 087 1263820 to add your child’s name to a waiting list if needed.

Junior sailing courses at MSC are for children aged 9  – 17 years and adhere to the guidelines of Irish Sailing’s Small Boat Sailing Scheme pathway of learning.  Courses run Monday to Friday, 10am-4.30pm.

The Beach Style system, i.e. arriving ready to sail in your wetsuit and your buoyancy aid, and the outdoor classroom model will be used again this year as much as possible.  We will have the use of the clubhouse facilities for lunch and the use of the changing facilities at the end of the day.

Your junior sailor may need to be booked into the same sailing level they were in last year, especially if they haven’t sailed since then.  Their instructors will be able to assess juniors sailing skills and ability during their first week of sailing.  If any junior sailor shows competency at that level then he/she may be able to join the next level on the recommendations of the Senior Instructor.

A word of welcome to those booking into the junior courses for the first-time.   We ask that all children have a good level of water confidence and wear a Personal Flotation Device at all times suitable for the child’s height and weight.  By booking your child into a junior sailing course you are accepting and agreeing to the inherent risk associated with your child attending.   For more information on the booking system  Click here

If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to contact us by email  [email protected] or phone 087 1263820.  Thank you for your co-operation.

Happy and safe sailing.
