Our Waters

rathmullansailingschool — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:09:18 +0000

The Swilly is a long, sheltered finger of water wedged between Inishowen and Fanad, two wonderfully wild and beautiful peninsulas on Donegal’s northern coast. It’s small enough for beginners to feel comfortable getting on the water, and big enough for the more advanced to explore and test their skills. We plan our courses to take the best advantage of the Swilly’s tremendous natural assets.
