About the Centre

Next year Arklow Sailing Club will celebrate their 40th anniversary with increased vigour and energy.  Originally founded by a handful of local enthusiasts in 1969, the club operates from a base on the North Quay in Arklow town, on the east coast. Membership is currently over 130 registered members, but there are many more that go sailing on a regular basis; taking advantage of crewing positions on members’ boats.

Although there are a number of power boat and dinghy owners in the club, the majority of boats are yachts. In fact there are over 50 yachts within the club, involved in either cruising or racing, although some members are interested in both activities. Club activities range from Cruising in company, Cruiser Races on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons, Squib Racing, Training and a number of Annual Regattas.

Recently the Club have undertaken work to a defined development plan for the next 10 years.  Developed in conjunction with the ISA, Arklow Sailing Club aims to encourage increased activity with current members, but more crucially, they identified a need to attract and retain potential new members.
