Irish National Sailing School


The Irish National Sailing School is a privately owned public sailing facility in Dún Laoghaire, South County Dublin. Originally set up as the Dún Laoghaire Sailing School by Alistair Rumball in 1972, the school was located above the old Viking Marine premises, which the Rumball brothers ran until 1999 when they sold that business on.
In the early 1990s Alistair Rumball acquired the building which housed the old Nautical College on Dún Laoghaire's West Pier and set up the new base of the Irish National Sailing School there. The business now runs a children's sailing camp throughout the summer, at halloween and at Easter. Adults courses are run from February to November. Transition year courses are run throughout the year with many schools from Dublin participating in the programme.
