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.
Elie and Earlsferry Sailing Club is a harbour-based Fife club offering sailing, coastal rowing, kayaking and other watersports, with taster-session and accessible-clubhouse evidence from local directory sources.
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.
Family participation is supported by published family memberships, child membership add-ons, and temporary family membership. The official site also says activities are for all ages and experience levels; coastal rowing is specifically listed as suitable for ages 16 and older.
Access
The membership page says the modern clubhouse has good disabled access.

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.
