UL Windsports are running a safety boat course in ULAC on April 6/7th.

This course is affiliated with Irish sailing and is needed for some instructor certificates like Senior Instructor. Once again, it's heavily discounted by UL windsports, so the Safety Boat course will cost 200 euros for UL Windsports members and 230 euros for non-UL Windsports members. Numbers are limited, so please sign up asap. Please note that a required pre-requisite for this course is a National Power Boat certificate - so if you do not have an NPC - you're not eligible for this course.

About WindSports

UL Windsports is an active water-based sport and all sports such as Sailing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing. While sailing is definitely our most active sport at the moment, we are trying our best to get back to our pre-pandemic trips. This semester we have set ourselves some goals to run a certain amount of Windsurfing and Sailing trips. UL Sailing are hosting their first-ever IUSA (Irish University Sailing Association)  in Carrick-On-Shannon on February 11th. Sailing Varsities are the first week in March, and we plan to have some training trips, including one up to NUIG to train with NUIG Sailing. As for Windsurfing, we are planning inter-varsities with UCD windsurfing at the moment but plan to have 2/3 trips to train and teach beginners how to windsurf. 

Our club is open to everyone, beginners and advanced; we are hoping to get running training in ULAC to help beginners learn and advance people a teaching opportunity. We also plan to run some powerboat/instructor courses in ULAC at a discounted rate for our members. 


If you're interested in any of the above, we suggest you join us, and if you want the chance to plan and bring your ideas to our club, the Committee is always open for new members.
