Beginner
The official Imperial College Union page says the club hosts all levels of sailing and invites people who want to learn or improve. Queen Mary's Imperial-specific page also lists opportunities to learn to sail for the 2025-26 season.
Training
The official Imperial page says the club trains every Saturday from 9am to 4pm and runs theory sessions on campus every other Wednesday. Queen Mary's Imperial page lists team racing on Wednesday and Saturday, opportunities to learn to sail, keelboat sailing on RS21s, and an Imperial RYA Powerboat Level 2 course product.
Taster
No current Imperial taster-session or open-day date was found on the official pages checked. However, Queen Mary's current Imperial-specific page lists an Imperial College Visiting Sailor day-sail pass, so there is a current low-commitment visitor route for day sailing with Imperial College Sailing.
