Personalized instruction focused on your skills and goals
Hands-on experience aboard a Jeanneau monohull
Learn sail handling and basic boat maneuvers
The Learn The Ropes sailing experience is designed for beginners as well as those with some prior sailing experience who want to refresh or improve their skills. This two-hour session provides a relaxed and informal way to gain confidence on the water without the pressure of a formal class. At the start of the sail, your instructor will discuss your goals and focus on the specific skills or techniques you wish to develop, tailoring the experience to your needs. The session is ideal for anyone looking to "dip their toe in the water" and explore the basics of sailing in a hands-on and supportive environment.
Participants will sail aboard one of the new Jeanneau 349 monohull sailing vessels, offering a comfortable and modern platform for learning. Under the guidance of experienced captains, you will gain practical knowledge in sail handling, boat maneuvers, and other essential aspects of sailing. While this session provides valuable instruction and hands-on practice, it does not confer any formal certification. The Learn The Ropes sail offers an enjoyable and educational way to enhance your sailing skills while experiencing the thrill of navigating on open water.

Customer Reviews

I have worked with Niall and his team on a number of occasions and the service is always professional and well managed and with great emphasis on safety. If you have work that needs specialist work at height, look no further.

First class service and quality once again from Niall. Having used his rope access services on several projects at our home in Kinvara, we have no hesitation in recommending Niall for quality and safety, no matter how complex the project. Always a pleasure to deal with too!

Over the last 3 years I have had the pleasure of working with Niall and his team providing the OPW {Office of Public works} Monuments division with roofing and rope access services at Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin 8. Due to the layout of the building and most of the areas being inaccessible for scaffolding , MWEPS or cranes IRATA rope access was the ideal option for a safe system of working at heights. In this time I have found Niall and his team to be professional, honest , trustworthy, well mannered, conscientious about their work and most importantly their level of safety and safety awareness. Their knowledge of construction and heritage buildings is outstanding and makes my life easier when I have Niall Mc Donagh Roofing and Rope Access Services on site. Other projects we have used Niall and his team on shows the versatility of rope access and what it brings to a project for time, speed, cost, efficiency and safety record. I would have no problem in recommending Niall Mc Donagh Roofing and Rope Access Services for any project as they have proven themselves within the OPW.
