Current official evidence supports a junior beginner pathway through Sunset/Diamond Fleet: the 2026 Sunset notice lists Diamond Fleet lake sessions and a May 2026 club news item says 22 new Diamond Fleet sailors were sailing by the end of the weekend. Adult beginner-specific sailing was not clearly evidenced.
Training
The club runs cadet coached Sunset sailing and an RYA-recognised Powerboat Training Centre offering RYA Powerboat Level 2 courses. No current official evidence was found for adult RYA dinghy learn-to-sail courses.
No current official open day, taster session, or try-sailing offer was found. The calendar lists adult sailing and social sailing registration, but the checked pages do not clearly describe these as beginner tasters.
The club has cadet membership for ages 8 to 17, family membership, a 2026 Sunset cadet programme, and a 2026 Cadet Week entry notice. The safeguarding page also describes child-focused sailing events and cadet-only arrangements.
Access· Unclear
No current official practical accessibility, disabled access, or adapted sailing information was found on the checked pages. The safeguarding policy references protection from discrimination, but it does not describe visitor access or adapted sailing provision.
