Beginner
Flushing Sailing Club is primarily a keelboat and yacht racing club, but its current membership page says it welcomes sailors of all abilities, people do not have to own a boat, and all age groups are encouraged to take part as skipper, crew, or by helping in the race office and clubhouse. The home page invites prospective members to come along on Tuesday or Friday evenings or Saturday afternoons during the sailing season for a chat.
Training· Unclear
No current official page checked showed RYA courses, learn-to-sail courses, formal beginner training, or course booking. The site says members share knowledge and work together to improve skills, but that is not enough evidence to list a structured training offer.
No current official page checked showed a public try-sailing session, taster session, open day, or current visitor sailing date. The practical route found is to visit during club opening/racing times or contact the club before joining.
The club explicitly says children are welcome, membership benefits encourage the young and not so young, and household/racing skipper memberships cover two adults plus children and dependents up to age 25. The racing page also links an Under 18 Parental Consent Form for children sailing.
Access
The clubhouse page says the main entrance has ramp access and hand rails, with a fully equipped disabled toilet and shower. No wider adaptive sailing or Sailability programme was found on the checked official pages.

Prices
Current 2026 membership prices are published: Racing Skipper membership and race entry GBP 220 from 1 February 2026; Racing Skipper under 35 GBP 140; Non-Member Racing Skipper race series entries GBP 45 for one, GBP 90 for two, GBP 135 for three; Household membership GBP 120; Single membership age 18-34 GBP 40; Single membership age 35+ GBP 85. Dinghy rack pricing was found only for 2025 and should be treated as stale unless refreshed by the club.
Official racing page and current booking documents identify Flushing Sailing Club CIO at New Quay/Trefusis Road. Cornwall Marine Network and charity evidence describe keelboat racing in Falmouth Harbour and Carrick Roads.
No current official page checked confirmed public boat hire, club boat hire, or beginner equipment hire. The club does provide a launch service on race days and has a dinghy rack for members' small inflatables, but those are not evidence of boat hire.
