On the weekend of 23/24 June, over 60 sailing clubs and training centres nationwide will open their doors to take part in Sail Spree – an initiative developed by the Irish Sailing Association (ISA ) to encourage people of all ages out on to the water to experience the thrill of water based activities.
Both Mayo Sailing Club and Bellacragher Bay Boat Club will be taking part in the Sail Spree weekend. Bellacragher Bay Boat Club will run their event on both Saturday and Sunday providing ‘on the water’ taster sessions in a variety of boats including Hobie Cats (catamarans ), dinghies and cruisers. Taking place around Achill Island it is a great opportunity to get out on the water and experience the thrill of sailing in a tranquil environment. Added to the excitement on the water, there will be shore based games and entertainment to make sure everyone in the family has something to do.
Mayo Sailing Club will be offering sailing taster sessions along with on shore activities, entertainment, food and drinks throughout the day on the Saturday. Included in their activities will be an ‘on the water’ treasure hunt with prizes and plenty of excitement!
