Beginner
The club says it welcomes complete beginners, and its RYA training information includes courses for people new to the sport, including Level 1 with no assumed knowledge.
Training
Covenham lists RYA-qualified volunteer instructors delivering the RYA National Sailing Scheme, Youth Sailing Scheme, and adult/youth windsurfing; the course document lists adult sailing courses from taster and Level 1 upward.
A taster option is listed in the club's sailing courses document. The 2026 Discover Sailing open day was listed for 23 May 2026, which has now passed, so no future public open-day date was found.
Youth sailing is listed for Wednesday evenings in 2026, with youth members invited to attend; the membership form includes family and young-person membership categories.
Access
The club runs Covenham Sailability, says facilities are on one level, and lists wheelchair-accessible building features, disabled parking, accessible changing rooms, and hoists for transfers into boats and in the changing room.
