About the Skipper: David O’Connor
David grew up sailing in Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo, on the wild northwest coast of Ireland. His career first led him to work with many media and technology companies in Ireland but it wasn’t long until the sea called him back!
He began racing yachts in New Zealand where he worked for an America’s Cup tourism venture. He was very lucky to sail every day with an ex-Volvo Ocean Race watch-leader on a 76 foot bullet! He was taught so much so quickly that this job inspired him to pass on what he has learned.
After many trans-oceanic voyages in the Atlantic and Pacific, He spent 2 years in the Offshore Seismic Exploration Industry in Asia. Here he received a different schooling from the finest fishing skippers of New Zealand and South Africa in some of the world’s most remote locations.
In 2016, Wild West Sailing was born and he is delighted to be back in Sligo doing what he loves, sharing his skills, experience and passion.
