Welcome to the Sail Training Centre Web Site for 2008!
The Sail Training Centre (Berkshire) Ltd runs RYA sailing and powerboating courses for people from age 8 years upwards. The courses cover everything you need to know from beginner to racing, sailing with spinnakers, performance sailing and seamanship skills. 100% of the profit it makes from the courses are donated to The Berkshire Sail Training Centre (BSTC) registered charity (No. 1003259).
BSTC provides sail training and basic seamanship for school children, youth and community groups. We also provide facilities and support to enable children and adults, with disabilities, to take to the water at Theale. The value of Outdoor Education to youth is tremendous with the following being some of the benefits:
- Presents adventurous and challenging experiences
- Builds self-esteem
- Teaches initiative and self-reliance
- Rewards team effort
- Promotes the growth of a group identity
- Enables achievement and success
- Places young people in a stimulating natural environment
- Develops an understanding of safety precautions
- Fosters relationships and understanding between teachers and students
- Presents learning and fun in a safe and controlled environment
- Offers the opportunity to achieve nationally recognized qualifications
- Improves communication skills
That's why your continued support is so important to us. Without it we can not continue to develop and inspire people within the community. If you feel you could further assist us with funding, or have other relevant experience which may help us, or if you work with a youth group which could benefit from our activities please contact me to discuss your ideas or requirements.
Yours with all good wishes,
