ABOUT US

SID CLUB ETHOS

SID was founded by a group of Glenans members as an independent non-profit-making club in 1984. The basic objective of the club is to offer regular sailing, for a low cost, to people who would not otherwise have an opportunity to sail. 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 races and cruises using the SID fleet.

The club provides its members with :

  • Opportunity to improve sailing abilities (helming and crewing) through regular sailing
  • Fully equipped boats with medium performance
  • Safety boat cover
  • A base of operations in the inner (coal) harbour, Dun Laoghaire
  • Experience in boat maintenance and engine handling on safety boat duty
  • Social events
  • Opportunity to take part in dinghy and keelboat racing

The running of the club is totally dependent on the voluntary efforts of members. All members are expected contribute to this effort.

SID is not a substitute for a properly structured Irish Sailing approved training course e.g. IS Approved Dinghy or Keelboat courses.

SAILING ORGANISATION

SID is a voluntary club and relies on its members to run sailing nights, organize safety 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 & Organizer are appointed for each sailing session. Members can attend as many sessions as they wish.
