Are you looking for a new way to get outdoors and active or find something you can enjoy together with the family? If the answer is yes, Donaghadee Sailing Club is inviting you and your family to come and try sailing for free on Saturday 29 June between 10am and 4pm.

Whether you’re completely new to the sport or looking to get back on the water, the RYA Discover Sailing Day is the perfect time to give it a go. We are a friendly local club with lots of social, sailing, diving and other activities on offer throughout the year, come down and explore our purpose built clubhouse and facilities.

Starting at 10 am there will be a whole host of activities taking place including tours around the club, talks and demonstrations about the various types of dinghies sailed, together with an opportunity to enjoy a 30 minute taster sail from the slipway with one of our experienced helms (Please bring a towel and a change of clothes if you hope to sail – you may get wet! The club has showers and changing facilities available). The taster sail is open to anyone over the age of 8 years old.

The activities are absolutely free and the club will be serving food, drinks and snacks.  To ensure you make the most of your visit it is essential that you book your space(s) on one of the four sessions being held throughout the day.

Sailing can be as physical or as relaxing as you want to make it; you can sail with others or on your own, do it competitively or potter about and just enjoy the gentle escape of being outside in the elements.
