Bray Sailing Club

Bray is a seaside resort a few miles South of Dublin. The sailing club overlooks the harbour, which is at the North end of the promenade.

Left: Wicklow and Bray

We cater for both cruisers and dinghies, with a full program of racing. The tide influences most of our activities, for the harbour dries at low water.

The club is more than a hundred years old, and many former members have earned national and international reputations.

New members are always welcome.
