Beginner
Greensforge Sailing Club describes itself as a friendly family sailing club and says it enjoys teaching people to sail. Its sail-school page says RYA Level 1 and junior Stage 1 courses start from novice level, with buoyancy aids and training boats supplied, and that the club aims for a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
Training
The official site says Greensforge is an RYA recognised training centre and runs RYA dinghy sailing courses each year. The sail-school page says it offers RYA Dinghy Level 1 and 2 for adults and RYA Dinghy Stages 1-3 for juniors. The visible 2025 course dates are past as of 12 June 2026, so they are not treated as current bookable dates. The current RYA listing also shows Greensforge as a Training Centre and lists Dinghy Level 1 - Start Sailing.
Taster· Unclear
The homepage invites visitors to come and have a go at sailing, but no current official taster-session, open-day, or future-dated try-sailing schedule was found in the checked current pages. Past or undated secondary open-day references were not used as current availability.

Access· Unclear
No current official accessibility details were found on the checked pages. The current pages did not publish practical information about step-free access, accessible toilets or changing, adapted boats, hoists, disabled parking, or Sailability-style support.
