Beginner

The current site presents Fishguard Bay as a good sailing area with sheltered and more exposed waters, little tidal current in the bay, and a slipway accessible at all except the lowest tides. For beginners, the strongest current evidence is that FBYC is an RYA training establishment, runs junior courses each season, plans RYA sailing courses with dates still to be decided, and runs adult social boating sessions when tides allow; it does not explicitly state an adult complete-beginner pathway.

Training

FBYC says it is an accredited RYA training establishment. The sailing page says junior courses run each season, that RYA sailing courses will run through the year with dates yet to be decided, and that courses are only open to club members. It also says the club uses RS Teras, Toppers, RS Fevas and a Wayfarer for training. The line about adult courses in 2024 is stale and should not be treated as current adult availability.
