Beginner
The club says it welcomes sailors of all abilities and new members, has an informal and friendly feel, and members will offer assistance and guidance when asked. It does not currently offer formal sail training.
Training
Current membership and about pages say the club does not currently offer formal training or a formal sail training programme. The mission page lists training as an aim, but that is not current availability evidence.
Taster· Unclear
I found dated 2023 Try Sailing news posts, but no current taster session page, schedule, booking route, or recurring availability on the official site.

Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors
Family and youth suitability is supported by the club mission, a Family Membership product for children under 18, and cadet/junior member rights. I found no current junior sailing schedule beyond dated 2024 news posts.
Access· Unclear
No dedicated accessibility or access-needs information was found. The site does mention wide beach access ramps, changing rooms with showers, and parking close to the beach.
