The adult sail-training pathway has been developed at Howth Yacht Club for several reasons:
|
| | To offer opportunities for new and existing members to learn to sail. |
| | To provide a service for members to gain further knowledge and experience in the sport. |
This service is delivered through a series of training courses and private on-board coaching. We are very fortunate to have the use of the ISA J80s and these are used to deliver the majority of our adult sail-training program.
Summer training In HYC will take place June - August. Please book early!
The program is set for individual participants on Thursday evenings and groups on Monday evenings. We are flexible and can coach every day of the week and most evenings depending on availability and numbers.
On-board coaching is available to members all year round.
