Welcome to the King’s sailing team! We are a fully student planned-student run club of sailing enthusiasts. Our mission is to democratise sailing as a hobby as it is one of the few hobbies that is challenging and rewarding in equal measures. This will help our members to develop life skills like empathy, resilience, critical thinking and install values of working in a team that are imperative to success in professional settings and life at large. Our leadership team comprises experienced skippers and professionals who are inclusive and nurturing.
We serve our mission by organizing sailing trips and conducting training sessions for professional sailing. Our program is structured in such a way that multiple weekend trips are organized throughout the year in exciting locations and one grand Yacht trip in the picturesque Mediterranean in summer. The training trips are placed strategically during the reading week of the course work at King’s College London (KCL). On these trips we run official RYA training courses to help our members secure their yachting licenses.
It is a simple onboarding process where you must purchase a Full standard membership if you are a student at KCL. We have an Associate membership program if you are a staff member or a student of another institution.
