Wexford Harbour Boat and Tennis Club promotes sailing and boating by giving training courses in the Clubhouse so that members and visitors alike can safely take part in and enjoy on-the-water sports. Most of the courses are approved by the parent body of sailing, the Irish Sailing Association. The ISA's Training Schemes allow one to learn and develop ones skills from absolute beginner to expert in Small Boat Sailing both at Junior and at Adult level. The Junior courses are usually run in July and vary in length from 1-3 weeks. The various modules under the Small Boat Sailing Scheme (SBSS) are fully outlined on the Irish Sailing Association web site www.sailing.ie/training or you can contact the clubs Junior Organisor at jo@whbtc.ie .
