Glenans aims to attract overseas visitors

GLENANS Irish Sailing Club has just gone into marketing mode to increase interest in its summer courses at its centres in Baltimore, Co Cork, and on Collanmore Island in Clew Bay, Co Mayo.

Weekend and week-long courses are still available for beginners and advanced sailors with Collanmore Island, offering windsurfing, dinghy and catamaran courses and Baltimore housing the club’s larger keelboat and cruise yachting courses.

Around €50,000 is being invested in increased marketing — mainly through a new brochure and a new website — www.gisc.ie — which will allow for online booking.
