History of Courtown Sailing Club

The harbour at Courtown had little activity at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. Transport of goods at sea, to and from Courtown, had ended and the harbour became increasingly clogged up by sediment. This, and the perennial growth of sand deposits at the harbour mouth, minimised the entry of ships. Before 1981, only a small number of local fishing boats and a few small sailing boats were in the harbour. However, there was an increasing wish to improve the harbour and to develop more activities in it.
