Who are we?

Rush Sailing Club is a thriving community of sailors and water sports enthusiasts located on the picturesque Rogerstown Estuary.

ABOUT OUR FACILITIES

Our Club House

The club house is a great spot to hang out, equipped with everything you need! There are changing rooms and showers (including a wheelchair accessible one), a bar, a meeting room, an office, and even a snooker room. If you need to use the accessible shower or toilet at any time, just head around to the back door and use your key fob or pass code (which you can get from the bar after paying a deposit). The bar is open Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday nights, please check the website (www.rushsc.ie) for more info. Oh, and don't forget that members get discounted prices on drinks with their membership card! And if you're looking for something to do while you're at the club house, try a game of pool, or head on up to the first floor and check out the full-sized snooker table. The Rush Snooker team is usually there most evenings if you want to join in a game or two!

Got a boat already?

For cruisers and motor boats we have a magnificent gated and serviced boat park, where boats and trailers can be stored for an nominal annual fee per meter. Craning in and out is organised co-operatively, with a crane hired in at the beginning and end of the season. Dinghy storage is available in the Clubhouse Yard.
