SeaFest Fun

rathmullansailingschool — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 19:14:41 +0000

Based on all the positive feedback we’re getting, SeaFest was one fantastic weekend of sailing, water sports and food. The weather gods blessed us with a couple of rainless days with significant spells of sunshine thrown in for good measure. Except for a lull in the winds on Sunday, keelboats and dinghies had plenty of puff to make things interesting enough out there.

Thanks to all who came and all who helped put SeaFest together. Time to start thinking about 2012! (For more photos of 2011, visit our SeaFest Photo Gallery

Wind Update!

rathmullansailingschool — Fri, 27 May 2011 11:34:35 +0000

The unusually high winds of the past 2 weeks have unfortunately blown a hole in our course programme! Since the Start Sailing course that is currently underway hasn’t been able to get on the water at all over the past week, they will be make up for lost sessions during the week beginning May 30th. This means we will have to reschedule the Basic Skills course originally intended for that week. Sorry, but if anyone out there has a hotline to the wind gods, could you please ask them to tone it down a notch or two.

Basic Skills, May 30th – June 1st
