Keyhaven Yacht Club offers RYA dinghy sailing courses on club boats and says non-members can use a month-long taster membership with a course to visit the club and learn to sail. Junior sailing also includes absolute beginner and beginner routes for younger sailors.
Training
The club is an RYA Recognised Training Centre offering dinghy sailing, powerboating and shorebased courses to club members, with dinghy courses run on club boats in the Keyhaven and Lymington area.
The current official training page says non-members interested in visiting can join as a month-long taster member in conjunction with a course to discover and use the club facilities while learning to sail. I did not count expired open-day/event listings as current availability.
The membership page describes Keyhaven Yacht Club as family friendly with youth, juniors and a full junior/youth sailing programme. Junior pages describe Salterns, Junior and Youth sessions, including novice primary school age sailors, club dinghies and parent-supported sessions.
Access· Unclear
I did not find current official Keyhaven Yacht Club information confirming accessible sailing, Sailability, disabled access arrangements or adapted equipment.

The membership page lists club boats available to hire, including Oppies, Teras, Qubas, Argo, 2000, Lasers and Lymington River Scows. This appears to be a member facility; I did not find evidence of public visitor boat hire outside membership or training.
