Sailing Fleet and Facilities

The club is based in the boatyard (Coal Harbour) near the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire. The SID fleet comprises of :

Magno dinghy

Magno

The SID fleet has two Magnos. These boats are simple to rig, launch, and sail while still offering high performance with battened main sails, trapeeze and gennaker. The Magno has a robust rotomoulded hull, and a spacious and comfortable cockpit. The main sail can be reefed, and with the furling Jib, it makes it simple to reduce you sail area for those windy days. A serious fun boat.

Hull weight: 89 kg
LOA: 3.94 m
Beam: 1.56 m
Sail Area: 18.98 m2

Ruffian in Dublin Bay

Ruffian

Our Ruffian "Ruffin'it" (Sail number 472) purchased in 1999 can accomodate up to 6 people. It is a sloop keelboat yacht with an overall length of 23 feet. The Ruffian racing class is one of the largest keelboat classes in Ireland with 20-30 regularly racing at the national championships. Ruffin'it can provide a more leisurely sail with longer trips in the Irish Sea from Malahide to Wicklow or can compete in regattas or Dublin Bay races. The cabin is fitted with four berths for weekend trips.



Hull weight: 1588 kg
LOA: 7.11 m

More information 420 Dinghy

420 Dinghy

The 420 is a two-person lightweight, high-performance, planning-hulled dinghy that is super fast and exciting to sail. It also provides the additional excitement and challenge of a symetric spinnaker and trapeze.

Hull weight: 80 kg
LOA: 4.2 m
Beam: 1.63 m
Sail Area: 13.05 m2
Spinnaker: 9 m2
Optimum Crew Weight: 110-145 kg

SID currently has three 420 dinghies. One Nautileva boat (2002) and two older models. The 420 is a very stable and easy boat to sail. It is an ideal introduction to double handers for those less experienced, while still being a serious performance boat for the more advanced crew.

SID Rescue Boat

Rescue boat

The rescue boat is used for all dinghy sailing sessions and is manned on a rotation basis. People not familiar with the operation of the rescue boat will be given instruction. Depending on demand, formal powerboat training may be organised during the season. We encourage all members to take Powerboat certification training. The SID rescue boat is a great opportunity to get in some experience before taking any formal course or to practice your skills if you have already have a powerboat certificate.

Ruffian Tender

The Ruffian is on a mooring in the Coal Harbour. We have a small tender stored by the container used to ferry crew to and from the Ruffian.









SID Container

Container

Our Container is located in the Coal Harbour. It is used to store equipment, and provides rudimentary changing facilities. Life jackets, buoyancy aids and trapeeze harness are provided for members. When not on the water, the boats are stored nearby.
