Suitability

Juniors
The official site says the club provides water-based activities for all the family and describes junior sailing instruction through Shetland Sailing Centre. Junior courses are usually restricted to pupils from P5 and up, and parents must be club members for insurance purposes. The RYA listing includes youth dinghy sailing Stages 1 to 4.
Access
Shetland.org lists Disabled Access Available for Delting Boating Club Caravan Park. No current source checked gave adaptive sailing, Sailability, accessible changing, pontoon access, or on-water support details, so this should be treated as site/access information rather than confirmed accessible sailing provision.
