Donaghadee Sailing Club to Host Women on the Water Festival

11th April 2023

A Women on Water Festival will be hosted by Donaghadee Sailing Club in May

Donaghadee Sailing Club is hosting a Women on the Water festival starting on 20th May; tickets are on sale now.

This event is an opportunity for beginners and women who may have been active before but are looking to gain more confidence. It is an opportunity to meet new people and take part in several on water activities.

There will be dinghy and keelboat sailing, stand up paddleboarding, powerboating, coastal rowing and, as an optional extra, snorkelling. You are not required to complete a WOW programme previously but are interested in learning more about boating and other watersports.

Donaghadee Sailing Club lies near the harbour in the town on the North Down coast near the eastern end of Belfast Lough.

Ticket sales will close on Tuesday, 9th of May, to enable the sailing club, event organisers and volunteers to prepare for the event. Tickets here
