A sailing membership venture which has enjoyed great success since its set-up in the US in 2001 has now launched in Ireland.
Sailtime Ireland offers members use of a new Bénéteau Oceanis seven times a month, or for a total of six weeks during the year. Sailtime uses its sailtime.ie website to schedule trips, and pre- and post-sail checklists are recorded via BlackBerry.
SailTime appeals not just to the experienced sailor who sees the tremendous convenience and the opportunity to reduce costs, said SailTime Ireland owner, Brian ORegan, who says he was attracted to the concept immediately. For many, SailTime is the perfect way to get into sailing or to build experience to Day Skipper level and beyond.
SailTime Ireland will launch at the Malahide Boat Show and begin operations in Dublin with an Oceanis 31.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
