Founded in 1950 the club currently has over two hundred members, racing in several classes including cruisers, wayfarers, 420's, lasers, toppers and mirrors. Racing for cruisers is every Wednesday and Sunday, while racing for dinghy's is held every Thursday and Sunday. Our cruising sailors usually head to Porthmadog in July and we often take in other trips along the Irish coast. We provide Junior Training during the month of July and/or August for 10 years old and up. We celebrate our 60th Anniversary in 2010 and also the 30th Anniversary of our Round Ireland.

Wicklow Sailing Club is an I.S.A accredited training centre for junior training levels 1 to 5 and also powerboat training.

Visitors are always welcome and are free to use the Clubhouse and it's facilities. We have a very friendly reputation on Irelands East Coast and love to hear tales of sailing derring do. The bar is open every night in the summer and Thursday to Sunday in the winter. Adequate berthing is available on the quayside or on swing moorings. Wicklow is a busy commercial port, with often 1 or more ships berthed in the river - space can be at a premium in these circumstances.

We are twinned with Madoc Yacht Club our Welsh neighbours in Porthmadog, North Wales.
