Beginner
The official AUSA page says the club caters for all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced racers.
Training
The official AUSA page lists Open Sailing sessions for learning and improving, team racing training sessions, and weekly windsurfing with a qualified instructor. The BUSA listing also describes the club as an RYA Recognised Training Centre, but this is secondary evidence.
Taster
Open Sailing sessions run on Sundays and are described as a chance to learn to sail, improve, or free sail. Treat this as the easiest low-commitment route, subject to joining or contacting the club.
