Beginner
The club describes itself as family-friendly and says it supports novice sailors. It also says members can improve skills in a friendly, supportive environment and that racing is suitable for beginners as well as experienced sailors.
Training
Official pages describe member sail and powerboat training/coaching, including free or subsidised RYA training, but another current page says the club is transitioning its training status and refers members to trusted local providers. Junior summer training is explicitly listed.
Taster
The club invites potential members to an Open Day on Friday June 12 for a safety boat cruise or a sail in a club boat. No evidence found for a recurring taster-session programme beyond that dated open day.
