The Milebuilding Club
The Milebuilding Club - now in its ninth year - provides non - intensive tuition to sailors of every experience level from raw beginner through Day Skipper to the more experienced sailor.
Sailing with the club is an excellent way to learn new skills and consolidate existing knowledge - all in a cordial atmosphere on a nice yacht.
As your experience builds with us you could progress to Yachtmaster – two club members have done just that.
We sail weekly – weather permitting from Southampton Town Quay. Scheduled sailing days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday – all year round.
All sailing is day-sailing; we return to base each evening. This format facilitates regular sailing that is easily incorporated into a busy calendar. Sailing is coordinated online.
Terms:
Minimum membership period: 3 months
Monthly sailing fee: £225
Come out for a day to see if you like us and what we do. We charge £75 for a day sail.
The club has a small membership which means great availability and our ‘easy-in - easy-out’ terms make the club a low risk, cost effective route to solid all-round sailing competence.

Easy Going sailing for everyone
I sailed with paul and other members quite a few times and was made to feel very welcome, i had very little knowledge of sailing or how a sail boat worked before i joined them after the first few days out and i felt more confident and got into a routine i really started to enjoy my days out from day one i got to steer the boat under sail and motoring with all the members on board sharing their knowledge paul especially is always asking you questions, setting you tasks like 3 point fixes and general map work , tides times and heights, rights of way, etc the whole day your onboard your always learning , sharing a nice cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit taking a moment to relax and take in the surroundings sailing with the motor off its lovely and quiet and brings a big smile to your face, if you just want to sit back and do nothing all day this is not for you its hands on sailing you could learn to sail anywhere else but never get the same experience as sailing in the solent every aspect of sailing is covered so if learning to sail and going for your comp crew or day skippers is what you want this is the boat to be on thanks to paul i now have the confidence to go out sailing and hope to sail with him many times again in the future after all this corona madness is over .
