Lough Ree Yacht Club
Lough Ree Yacht Club
Lough Ree Yacht Club is a sailing club based at Ballyglass, Coosan, near Athlone, on the shores of Lough Ree in Ireland's River Shannon system.
Founded in 1770 — originally as Athlone Yacht Club — it is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the world and is widely regarded as the oldest club based on an inland lake.
The club maintains an active sailing calendar year-round, with programs spanning junior and adult courses, keelboat racing, and an annual regatta. It has a strong family ethos, welcoming sailors of all ages and abilities.
The tranquil lakeside setting draws members throughout every season, from the busy summer regattas to quieter winter sailing on Lough Ree.
