Beginner
The club describes Elie Harbour as suitable for novice and experienced sailors, says new members can get help from experienced members to improve their sailing, and states that new members are welcome whether novice or experienced.
Training
Current evidence supports informal learning and skills support rather than a published formal course programme: the club says members share knowledge and help others improve, WebCollect lists a sailing/kayaking category for informal fun sessions through the season, and scheduled events are advertised via Facebook and Spond.
Taster
The official Facebook profile, linked from the club website, says new members can send a message to arrange a taster session. I did not treat old open-day posts as current availability.

The club says members can use the club-owned Drascombe Lugger 'Saol' in organised sessions and that people do not need their own boat to sail with the club. I found no separate public boat-hire pricing or independent hire terms.
