Beginner
BMYC's Club Class page says Club Class introduces people to yacht racing through five practical participation sessions and is suitable for people completely new to sailing as well as experienced sailors. It is for over-18s and is not a formal RYA training course.
Training
BMYC offers Club Class as a practical introduction to yacht racing and points participants toward RYA qualifications if they want formal training. The official links page lists Brighton Boating as BMYC's learning and development partner for RYA sailing, powerboating and youth watersports, and BMYC also lists member RYA VHF training events.
Taster
Club Class is BMYC's introductory yacht-racing experience for over-18s. The next Club Class was listed for Autumn 2026, with sessions on 19 September, 3 October, 10 October, 17 October and 24 October 2026.

Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors
The Join Us page says family membership applies to couples and their children under 18, but membership is otherwise only available to those over 18 apart from children included in family membership. No dedicated junior sailing programme was confirmed on the checked BMYC pages.
Access· Unclear
The checked official pages did not show a dedicated Sailability, adaptive-sailing, disabled-access, accessible toilet, or access-support page. The join page includes concessionary membership for registered disabled applicants, but that does not confirm venue access support.

Costs

Costs, membership, and boats

Prices

Current 2026 membership prices were not found on the checked official pages. The Join Us page still shows 2023/24 membership fees, and the Club Class page repeats those membership figures with a note that pricing is subject to change, so users should confirm current prices with BMYC.

Membership

Official site promotes new members, yacht racing, cruising and Club Class, an over-18 introduction to yacht racing that includes membership.

Boat hire· Unclear
The checked official pages did not show BMYC club boat hire. Club Class uses yachts provided by their owners for participants as guests, and the links page points to an external learning partner for boat trips and training.
