Lough Ree Yacht Club was founded in 1770, although organised sailing events are known to have occurred on the lake even before this date. The Club while steeped in tradition, is progressive and has a fun and welcoming atmosphere, where the standard of both sailing and fun is high! There is a strong family participation ethos, it is common to see young and old mingling together both on and off the water and in a safe environment. The tranquil setting of the Club truly makes it special, whether it’s during the bustle of the event packed summer months or during the more austere winter months when sailing is still vibrant, the Club is never far from a member’s imagination, always planning their next visit.
