Combs is an RYA-registered training centre teaching members from novice to expert. The club also says many novice members initially use club boats.

Beginner dinghy courses are listed for 2026, usually over two full days, with instruction on the reservoir or in the clubhouse. The page gives adult and child course fees and registration details.

Taster

The Learn to Sail page says participants are asked to take a short taster before their course, with dates to be advised. A dated one-day Introduction to Sailing is also listed, but it is not treated as current availability because the date has passed or is unclear.
