Welcome to the Army Sailing Association. Our primary objective is to:

‘Promote, manage, develop and facilitate offshore and inshore sailing and racing for all Army personnel by conducting inspirational activities and developing world class sailing facilities in order to contribute to the operational effectiveness of the Armed Forces.’

The Association caters to all sailing disciplines, including offshore and inshore yacht racing, offshore cruising, powerboating, dinghy sailing, windsurfing, wing foiling, and kitesurfing.

As a club member of the Royal Yachting Association, the ASA is a Recognised Training Centre offering RYA-accredited sail training, powerboating, and shore-based courses across all disciplines. The ASA is also affiliated with the British Kitesports Association and British Stand Up Paddleboarding (BSUPA).

In addition, we offer yacht charter and powerboat hire for our members.
