Irish Sailing Foundation

foundation vision: to generate the required financial resources for ireland to scale-up and execute its world-class sailing programme. irish sailing works tirelessly to promote sailing in ireland and abroad and has been successful in securing funding of almost €1 million euro from sport ireland. however, to compete on a par with other nations, a further €2 million is required annually to realise the ambitions of our talented performance sailors. for this reason, the irish sailing foundation was formed to bridge the financial gap and provide the performance pathway with the funds necessary to increase coaching hours, upgrade equipment and provide world class sport science support to a greater number of high-potential irish sailors. the performance pathway has a proven track record of success and is made up of junior, academy, development and olympic squads and it provides young, talented and ambitious irish sailors with the opportunity to move up through the ranks from an early age.
