    The Sailing Club is closed for the winter, but there may be some activity at Avon Ri.

    Have a look at www.sailingwest.ie/ who run courses in Dun Laoghaire through out the year and then once you know the basics, http://www.sailingindublin.ie/ have a number of boats where you can crew when it suits you (for a very reasonable price and great social side).

    hi
    Arklow sailing club is not too far from you. they do evening and weekend keelboat (squib) cousres in the summer (6 or 8 class courses) and don't charge a fortune for them (around €150 i think) www.arklowsc.com
