Lough Ree Yacht Club, located on the picturesque River Shannon in Ireland, is seeking passionate and skilled instructors to join their existing team of 18+ instructors for their burgeoning Junior Sailing Course.
The course runs for three weeks at the beginning of July (1st to 19th July) and is run like a summer camp, with many families and most instructors staying on site. The club was founded in 1770 and is regarded as being the second oldest Yacht Club in the world.
Despite its long history, the club has a progressive and welcoming atmosphere. It is home to many talented sailors, whose competitive successes have been achieved nationally and internationally.
Junior sailing was first introduced to the club in 1968 in the form of a dozen Optimist dinghies. Since then, the fleet has expanded and thrived, with Mirrors, Fevas, 420s and Lasers being added in recent years.
Over 120 sailing trainees engage with the Junior Sailing Course every summer, and the club is looking for instructors who are passionate about sailing and adept at teaching to contribute to their thriving community.
The tranquil setting of the club truly makes it special, and the strong family participation ethos means that it is common to see young and old mingling together both on and off the water.
The club continues its tradition of being a convivial centre of sailing on Lough Ree and the host to many important sailing events. If you are passionate about sailing and skilled in instructing others, Lough Ree Yacht Club welcomes you.
