It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our Sailing School Principle Phil Webb. For those that knew him and had the pleasure of sailing with him he was a true character and words here cannot express the loss we feel at his death.

His passion for sailing started on the shores of Rudyard Lake with his mentor Jim Ridgeway and the Sea Scouts. They then went on to start the Sailing School some 50 years ago at a number of locations around the City before it finally settled here at St. Thomas More.

Welcome to St Thomas More Sailing's website. We are a long established Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Training Centre and have been offering Shorebased Training Courses to the people of Staffordshire, Cheshire & Shropshire and the surrounding areas for over 20 years. Over 600 students have successfully passed through our classes during this time, so you can be sure of the quality of the teaching on offer. We provide a comprehensive package that covers more than just the RYA syllabus, giving you the knowledge to sail safely and with confidence.
