Welcome!

For over 50 years Greystones Sailing Club has been a vibrant home of racing, training and socialising for sailors in the town and from the surrounding areas. We have hosted Regional, National and World Championship events. Alongside a busy Summer racing schedule, we run junior and adult training, and a social calendar set in our modern clubhouse with the best view in Greystones.
Dinghy sailing

From April to October, we run dinghy racing every Saturday afternoon. From May to August, we have Wednesday evening racing starting at 7.30pm. We primarily sail RS200s, RS400s, GP14s, Lasers, Wayfarers and RS Aeros. We count everyone from beginners to Regional or National Champions in nearly all these fleets among our members!
In summer months we also run Junior Sailing on Sunday mornings, with plenty of adults also taking to the water at the same time. Our juniors are primarily sailing RS Fevas, Lasers and RS200s, while our club training boats are Hartley 12s and Picos. Summer training courses are a key bedrock of the club with more info here.

Keelboat sailing

Greystones boasts a very active keelboat fleet, with a range of boats from 21 to 37 feet racing socially throughout the Summer on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. The highlight of the year is the Taste Of Greystones Regatta at the end of August, which retains a loyal following from Arklow to Malahide and clubs everywhere in between.

Dear All,
As you may know, our current Commodore Chris has been haunting the club since the late 1970s (initially in a pram). To mark his Commodore's Reception this season, we’re using the occasion to lure back as many past, present, and mysteriously vanished sailors and families as possible for a proper club family day.
Sunset Social Sail: Friday, 24 April
Followed by BBQ at the club.
We’re kicking off the junior sailing season for regular junior sailors and youth sailors who completed at least one course last year.

It’s a relaxed, fun way to get back on the water early in the season and reconnect with friends.

Hi Sailors

It’s that time of year again when Greystones Sailing Club will come together to support Pieta, an Irish suicide and self-harm prevention charity.

The nationwide event is taking place at 4:15am on Saturday 9th May.  In Greystones the walk starts at the Park and Ride at 4:15am.

For GSC, all sailors should aim to be on their boats at 4:15am, leaving the marina at 4:30am.  

As we have done in previous years, once the walkers appear, we will form a single boat procession, moving south, in parallel with the walkers.

Tea, Coffee and Pastries will be provided at the clubhouse after the event and we will be collecting donations there too.

Here’s what you need to do:
Please wear yellow on the day
Please decorate your boats with lights

Pieta provides free, professional support for individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm, or bereavement following suicide.  All donations are very much appreciated.

Any questions, message grainne.wafer@gmail.com

We are very grateful to Centra, Church Road, Greystones, for once again sponsoring the croissants for this event.
