Commodore’s Welcome

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our new web site. I am delighted that the site is online and I hope that you will find it an informative and interesting resource.

Our club is situated in the village of Ballyronan which lies on the shores of the North Western corner of Lough Neagh.

This year we have got off to a great start, we have two new RYA Coaches, Elwyn and Connor, part funded by Mid Ulster District Council who have continued to let us use one of the buildings on site as our new club house.

We are a small but very active club and new members are welcome. If you are interested in joining our club or require further info feel free to contact us.

They are great fun to sail with an immediate response. However, there are some types of boats and conditions where you will need… Continue reading Training

A Club member took me on a sailing taster session on a rather bleak day back in Autumn 2019, my first time on a sailing boat but I caught the bug immediately! Since then I have completed several courses through the Club and have grown in confidence on the water. The Club provides a supportive environment to learn; members are always on hand to answer questions and give helpful advice. The Club’s blend of training, racing and day trips means people of all skill levels and ages can get involved. If you’re tempted to try it out, do! It’s great fun and a brilliant way to blow away any cobwebs at the end of the week.

The RSA level 2 course was amazing. I had so much fun and made many new friends. All the instructors were so friendly; at all times I felt safe and gained sailing experience using 3 different sized boats. I would recommend this course for beginners or those contemplating buying their first sail boat.
