The club describes itself as family friendly, says its main dinghies are ideal for beginners and families, lists family membership pricing, and says under-18s need a paying adult to accompany them for sailing vouchers.
Access· Unclear
The official site uses broad wording about being accessible to the community, but I found no current, specific access-needs information such as wheelchair access, adapted sailing, step-free access, or accessible changing/toilets.
