The Army Sailing Association (ASA) is set to celebrate a record-breaking training season at the Inshore Sail Training Centre in 2025. What began as a visionary project to create a hub for Army watersports activities in 2014 is now on track to exceed all expectations, with over 1,400 soldiers expected to participate in a wide variety of watersports courses and events this year.
Since its establishment, the Inshore Sail Training Centre has been at the forefront of ‘training the trainers, inspiring the beginners and exciting the experts’ in an array of adventurous and challenging activities. In 2014, the Centre provided 206 course places, and this rose steadily to 506 in 2024. Following the successful construction of a new logistics hub, course places are forecast to be 630 in 2025, equating to 3,500 training days, an increase of over 20% in one year. As the 2025 season approaches, the Centre’s impact on soldiers’ welfare continues to grow, enabling more soldiers than ever before to develop skills in a broad range of activities, including power boating, dinghy and keelboat sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing foiling and stand-up paddleboarding.
The ASA’s forward-thinking approach to training and watersports development ensures that the Sail Training Centre will remain a leader in Army Sport and adventurous training for years to come.
