- Sea Squirts cannot complete back to back courses.
Sea Tigers
This year, Sea Tigers will be offered as a week long, full day course. This will allow us to further broaden the experience on offer to these sailors and to allow them the best possible introduction to life out on the water. Included on the course is a chance to go keelboat sailing, a day long trip into the further reaches of Dublin Bay, and a huge amount of fun on the water.

- Lunch is included in the rates for Tigers.
Boats
Sea Squirts & Tigers are not required to have their own boats. There are Club Mirrors that are used. If Tigers have their own boats they will most likely be sailing them and should bring them down to the Club. Please ensure that a current parking permit has been issued, this can be done online also.
