Beginner
The official site says Lancing Sailing Club welcomes sailors of all abilities, from novice to experienced racers, and describes volunteer training for people with at least a little sailing experience. The membership page says training aims to help members reach a standard where they can join Sunday racing, with club boats available free during official training sessions.
Training
Training is available to members through volunteer-run Saturday morning sessions in the summer, weather and volunteers permitting. The official membership page says sessions are free to members, include club boat use, have safety boats operating, and are for people with previous sailing experience, even if only a little. The events calendar also lists a future Training Day 3 on 4 July 2026.
Taster
A current events listing shows a Club Open Day reserve day on 20 June 2026 from 11:00 to 14:00. The earlier 9 May 2026 open day page is now marked as passed and tickets are no longer available, so it should not be treated as current bookable availability; users should use the current reserve-day listing or contact the club.

Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors
The club describes itself as family-oriented, says its location, facilities and events are suited to families, and lists RS Teras for the smallest younger members among its club boats. The 2026 open-day information gives participation age guidance, including a minimum age of 7 and parent/guardian requirements for children.
Access· Unclear
I did not find current official information confirming Sailability, adapted sailing, disabled access, accessible toilets, step-free clubhouse access, or specific access-needs support on the checked official pages.

Prices

The official membership page links to the current application form. The form lists membership options including Sailing Full GBP 159, Sailing Family GBP 165, Junior GBP 33, Student GBP 69, Young Adult GBP 100, Swimming & Water Sports Full GBP 106, Swimming & Water Sports Family GBP 111, and Associate/Social GBP 68. A 2025 fees news post remains on the site with older amounts, so users should treat the linked application form as the current price source and confirm the final amount with the membership secretary.

Membership

Official site describes a friendly, family-oriented sailing club with a beach clubhouse, dinghy parks, racing for all abilities and an active training programme.

Boat hire
Club boats are available for members rather than public walk-up hire. The club boat hire page says members with basic sailing skills can use club dinghies in suitable light or moderate conditions, with adult hire at GBP 10 and junior hire at GBP 5. The membership page says the club has 14 one- or two-person boats and that training boat use is free during official training sessions.
