About the Sail Training Centre
Most of our regular clients first joined us through personal recommendation, but if you have not yet visited the Centre, please do come and see us.
Experience the freedom of sailing a boat yourself, the exhilaration of making a dinghy perform to its best… the thrill of flying across the water in a performance craft. Whether a complete beginner, or an accomplished sailor we have a course for you.
The Centre has been a Recognised Teaching Establishment of the Royal Yachting Association since 1973, and offers a full range of certificated courses for dinghy sailors and powerboat coxswains. The instructors are chosen as much for their caring approach as for their professionalism and expertise on the water. Their aim is to provide fun and excitement at all levels, in a safe and controlled environment.
The Centre is Licensed, for watersports, by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority as required by the Young persons Safety Act 1995.
The courses on offer take place on Theale water, one of the finest lakes in the Thames Valley. There are over 225 acres of water set amid pleasant countryside, with a wide variety of wildlife sharing the natural resources with sailors. The open expanses of water offer some exciting sailing, while the character-ful islands offer sheltered sailing when conditions are more brisk.
The Centre shares the site with
Burghfield Sailing Club,a Club well known for its high standard of racing and family sailing. Most facilities of the Club are available to course members. Joining details are available from both the Centre and the Club.
All proceeds of the Sail Training Centre, Berkshire, Ltd are donated to The Berkshire Sail Training Centre, registered charity No. 1003259 which provides basic seamanship, sail training and windsurfing for school children, youth and Scout groups. We also provide facilities and support to enable disabled children and adults to take to the water at Theale. If you lead a youth or school group please contact us to see what we can offer or look at our education page.
Please note: on all junior sailing courses, as an alternative on days when there is little or no wind, improvised raft building, rowing or paddling games and treasure hunts will be offered.
