Welcome to Mullingar Sailing Club, located on the shore of Lough Owel.
Our aim is to promote fun sailing in a safe environment, teach sailing to all age groups and levels and run structured races for those who relish close competition. As an approved ISA Training Centre we run various courses throughout the season. Come and enjoy the experience of sailing.
COVID-19 UPDATE
With the ongoing restrictions due to Covid-19 we have assessed our ability to run Junior and Cara na Mara courses this year in a safe manner. The limiting factor of applying social distancing in a two handed boat such as the Mirror and the distancing of participants and instructors has resulted it in being impossible to give effective and safe training leaving us with no option but to cancel all junior courses this year.
Guidelines from Sailing Ireland also state that with these restrictions in place it would not be feasible to expect participants to progress to a higher level this season if courses had been run.
Under our booking policy terms we have already stated that in the event of the course not proceeding, any payments made will be refunded.
This is not to say that there is no junior sailing this year. We plan to operate where we can under the restrictions as they evolve. Sailing by family groups has already started on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings when there is organised rescue boat cover.
Further updates on Junior Sailing events will be notified on the junior page of this website. We would urge those who had hoped to take part in these courses to become junior members to partake in these fun events.
Please note that it is the personal responsibility of all members to decide to go on the water after considering all risks including weather conditions and the risk of contracting Covid-19. We are required to keep a log of members entering the club premises to enable rapid contact tracing. Remember to sign in every time you enter the club by entering your details on the following linked form.
