Beginner
CSBC says it welcomes people who have never sailed before, takes new sailors from age 8 to over 80, and offers beginner youth courses with no prior experience required. The official sailing page also says newcomers are welcome to come out and give sailing a try.
Training
CSBC describes itself as an RYA recognised Training Centre offering children and adult sailing, powerboating, First Aid and RYA Instructor courses. The current youth sailing page lists 2026 RYA-stage beginner and improver course booking links in July and August.
Taster· Unclear
The official sailing page says newcomers are welcome to come out and give sailing a try, and CSBC's linked Bookwhen schedule has included school-age Try Sailing Day entries in June 2026. No current, future public taster session or open day was found in the checked official pages, so public taster availability remains unknown.
