Training

One of the benefits of membership of the Club is the extensive array of highly subsidised training which is available. Although courses are intended for Adult Club members, some may be appropriate & suitable for 14+. The courses carry a small charge to cover costs and certification and are only open to members of Banbury Sailing Club.

Get Back on the Water

The Club takes part in this RYA scheme where an instructor/coach assists 'returners' over a number of Wednesday evenings in the summer.

The course is almost entirely practical on the water, so participants need to have their boats rigged and on the pontoon ready to sail at 6.30 pm. Therefore, this course is not suitable for those who are complete beginners, rather, for those who can at least prepare their boat and sail a triangular course on the water.

OnBoard

We are also part of OnBoard, where youngsters from local organisations are encouraged to try out sailing, under suitable supervision.

Other training

Much informal training goes on at other times — the newcomer to sailing will find many members willing to assist and advise.
