SID Club Organisation
SID was founded by a group of Glenans members as an independent non-profit making club. The basic objective of the club is to offer regular sailing from May to September, in Dun Laoghaire, to people who would not otherwise have an opportunity. This is achieved by sharing the use and upkeep of the sailing fleet without having to invest a large sum of money in purchasing and maintaining one's own boat. Members also take part in winter racing "The Frostbites" using the SID fleet.
The club provides its members with :
- Opportunities to improve sailing abilities (helming and crewing) through regular sailing
- Fully equipped boats with medium performance
- Safety and rescue boat cover
- A base of operations in the inner (coal) harbour, Dun Laoghaire
- Experience in boat maintenance and engine handling on rescue duty
- Social events
- Opportunity to take part in regattas and winter dingy racing.
SID is not a substitute for a proper structured ISA approved training course e.g. Glenans Splash or Spray courses.
Sailing Organisation
SID is a voluntary club and relies on its members to run sailing nights, organize rescue cover, boat maintenance and the running of the club including social activities. Sailing sessions are on weeknights starting at 6.00 PM and also on Saturday and Sundays. A Captain & Vice Captain are appointed for each sailing session. Each member allocated a regular sailing session but can sail other nights if places are available.
Sailing Schedules
Please inform the organiser if you are going to attend a sailing session. Please remember sailing is weather dependent. Always check the weather forecast before you sail
