Offshore Section

Objectives

The objectives of the Offshore Section are:

1. To foster and develop sailing throughout the Corps by organising offshore training, racing, cruising and other activities by encouraging the participation of members in sailing events at all levels.
2. To maintain standards of proficiency in sailing skills based on the Royal Yachting Association (RYA).
3. In furtherance of the objectives, to provide offshore yachts for the use of members and for representative sailing events on behalf of the Corps.

The REME Sailing Club also make use of boats from Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC) and other service clubs and organisations.

Training

Using the Corps own Halberg Rasseys, the REME Sailing Club will run one RYA Day Skipper and Competent Crew course for retired Corps members and dependants every year. This is done at very competitive rates and is usually done during the Summer Half Term Holiday.

Other courses and qualifications can be organised as required.

Serving personnel may complete RYA training and participate in sailing expeditions at the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC). The Army Sailing Association also runs courses for serving personnel and dependants.
