Maidenhead Sailing Club is a RYA approved training centre and can offer club members all of the RYA training programme in Sailing and Power Boating. The table below shows what is on offer in 2012.
Because of the way the club is constituted, we are unable to offer training to non members. However, we always welcome new members and discounts are available if you take one of our sailing courses at the same time as joining the club.
RYA sail training
MSC is a perfect location for adults and juniors to learn or develop their sailing skills and gain internationally recognised qualifications.
Power boat training
RYA Level 1 and 2 power boat training is available four times a year. We offer RYA Safety Boat at a heavily subsidised rate to club members who help out with race duties.
First aid training
RYA first Aid training courses are run for members when a course can be filled.
