Common questions
Where can I do sailing in Galway?
Clifden Boat Club, Club Mara Chonamara Lair, Club Seolteoreachta Árann, Comhar Chuigéal (Leitir Mealláin) Teoranta, Cumann Bádóireachta agus Seoltoireachta, Cumann Húicéirí na Gaillimh and 11 more. Each appears because Irish Sailing lists them, not because we assessed them.
Do I need my own equipment for sailing in Galway?
Not to start. Accredited centres supply equipment for beginner sessions, which is part of what the accreditation covers. Confirm what's included when you book, because hire and instruction are often priced separately.
