Beginner
Bembridge Sailing Club is a member-owned club with RYA training, cadet sailing, adult and youth membership options, and dinghy club craft that can be used by members for training, racing and social sailing.
Training
The 2026 training programme lists RYA dinghy, youth sailing, powerboat, safety boat, first aid and VHF courses, including Dinghy Level 1 and 2 and youth stages 1 to 4.
Taster· Unclear
The club's Open Day page invites visitors to look around the clubhouse, talk to members and committee members, view the boats members sail, and learn about membership, but the captured page text lists Saturday 10 May without a year. This is not enough to treat open days or taster sessions as currently available.
