Dave Garvey is now a Qualified IINLP Life & Business Coach

Congratulations to Dave who is now a fully certified Life & Business Coach with the IINLP!

Over the past 2 years Dave has trained with the Irish Institute of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) as a Master Practitioner and Coach. During this process he came to realise that the fundamental issues faced by those looking to change are often very similar regardless of the context. NLP is a set of tools and strategies which allow you to master your emotions, achieve powerful states of mind and become a more powerful and effective communicator. NLP has the potential to give you the self-determination needed to overcome learned limitations and will emphasize well-being and healthy functioning. The skills learned through NLP coaching can be used by anyone to improve effectiveness both personally and professionally.

Coaching is a process of setting focused achievable goals that are realistic for the individual and identifying the pathway to achieving them.

During a session Dave will work with you to clearly identify your desired goals and the actions required for you to successfully meet them. Unlike therapy, coaching is about looking to the future, so past issues are rarely explored in any depth.

If you would like to contact Dave to organise a business, life or sports coaching session, please email dave@dmgsailsports.com or phone our office at 01-8456946.

Nice forecast for the weekend


At last it looks like a great forecast for the weekend with perfect conditions for windsurfing and dinghy sailing. Nice Northwesterly winds around F 3 - 4 and temperatures creeping into the early teens.


With the windsurfing school now almost fully stocked with our 2010 kit it's the perfect time to get back on the water for a lesson or just a couple of hours hire. Maybe you want to see how far you can push your progress this season or maybe you just want to get your hair wet and feel great ;-)


This weekend also sees our first dinghy sailing course of the season so if your were thinking of trying somthing new give us a shout and join in.


Give us a call in the office for a booking before it's too late 01-8456946

IWA 2010 Event Calendar

Please find attached updated copy of IWA Cal for 2010. All info supplied has been updated.

Junior Sailing Easter Course April 5-9

Malahide Yacht Club are holding a week of supervised sailing at Easter this year (organised and run by DMG Sailsports). It's a chance to get back out on the water early with full supervision and to have a bit of fun. There will be programmed activities for the days to quickly bring you back to speed with your sailing and help you to get back and participate in the club racing. With this in mind we are keeping the price low at €85pp.

You will also have a chance to meet with some of the new instructors for the 2010 season. If you ask them they will look at your sailing standard and advise you of any areas that need your attention before the courses start. It's also a good place to log some of that vital logbook experience.

The minimum age for participants in this course is 9 years. Please keep in mind that it is early in the season so full length wetsuits or drysuits are mandatory. This course is designed as a refresher course and to assess your potential for the coming year. It is not designed for total beginners and you are expected to have completed at least an ISA level 2 (Basic Skills) course even if not passed.

Please complete in full using block capitals. Numbers as usual are strictly limited, places will be allocated to paid up members on receipt of fully completed forms. Please use one form per child.
