Training
Most instruction from Killington Sailing Association is informal and peer to peer. Arnside Sailing Club regularly delivers adult and youth RYA courses at Killington, including Stages 1-4, Levels 1-3 and Seamanship.
The club has a current Open Day 2026 notice for June 14, 2026, with booking forms expected around June 3. This is a future event as of the June 12, 2026 check, so it can be treated as current open-day availability.
The club says it especially welcomes youth groups, and the membership page lists Family/Single membership. The current events calendar includes youth and school sailing sessions at Killington.
Access
The clubhouse has flat access and accessible toilets, and the site has an Oxford Dipper hoist. Killington Sailing Association does not itself run disabled activities or provide accessible craft for members.
