WCSC 1998 to 2005 In 1998 discovered an old breeze block shed next to Adrigole Pier and slip way and
managed to find the finance to buy the shed. West Cork Sailing Centre was set up and our first 8 dinghies bought. We operated for 2 years from the old shed, with no running water. Customers enjoyed the atmosphere, quality of equipment and expert tuition, and recommended us to their friends and family to provide us with more bookings. In 2000 we finally received planning permission for our new centre and construction
started in December of 2000. Paddy Bat and Team of Builders worked hard to complete
the building for June of 2001. The luxury of hot showers, toilets and underfloor heating is now with us and we don't know ourselves. The cafe gives our customers somewhere to relax at lunch time and in 2002 we received our Wine Licence, so our sailors can relax on the balcony with a glass of wine at the end of a hard days sailing. In 2004, the fleet increased to 40 boats and a team of 10 instructors working in the summer. The cafe is now known as the Bistro and is now only open to our customers or parties. This gives our customers their own relaxing lounge room to catch up on the days events at lunch time and at the end of the day. The local area has taken a great interest in the development of sailing and to try and increase the availabilityy of boats to the area we have linked up with Bere Island Sailing Club with three 20ft Sun 2000's from Jeaneau, which are in our fleet. We also take care of Beara Community Schools fleet of six Toppers. 2005 and our dream boat joins the fleet - A Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37 Legende. She is just perfect for comfortable sail training. So, we now offer the ISA Cruising Scheme training courses - Yachtmaster, Day Skipper & Competent Crew. We are also currently preparing the centre and equipment for our first RYA inspection and hope to be offering RYA dinghy, powerboat, keelboat and cruising courses this summer. We are open to new projects and ways of developing sailing within the area, so if you have any ideas please get in touch.
