Dungarvan Harbour Sailing Club

About us

Dungarvan has always been noted for its sailors and its great sea-faring families and the tradition of the bygone days of the coastal schooners is reflected there today in the strong active sailing club which was founded at a public meeting in the Town Hall on Friday 2nd August 1946.

Reconstruction of the Quay area has injected new life into this area of the town and created the opportunity for Dungarvan Harbour Sailing Club to take the brave decision to borrow the money and purchase a site on the quay front on which to build a clubhouse. This building was designed by Damien Dillon and built by Ryan and Guiry. It is now the focal point of club activities. The Clubhouse has been the venue for many very enjoyable social events as well as the perfect location for our training programmes.
