Training
The club offers an Introduction to Sailing course for people with little or no experience. It runs as three two-hour morning sessions, covers sailing in all directions, rigging and setting up a keelboat, safety and basic rules, and practical helming and crewing; the page says it typically runs in May, July and October.
Lough Neagh Sailing Club is a family-oriented club at Kinnego Marina, with sailing, racing, cruising and junior/family membership on the southern shore of Lough Neagh.
Try-it routes are currently advertised: the dinghy page says non-members are welcome to book seasonal dinghy sessions and give sailing a try, and the racing page says newcomers can try crewing in a few races before deciding whether to join.
Junior and family suitability is supported by current sources: the dinghy page says all ages are welcome and mentions juniors, and MemberMojo lists Family, Junior and Student membership categories.

Official membership page describes a family-oriented sailing club at Kinnego Marina with full, family, junior, student and outport membership, a full programme of events and all-ages sailing opportunities.
No current public boat-hire terms or boat-hire prices were found. The official pages do say people can book dinghy sessions and can try crewing without owning a boat, but that is not enough to confirm standalone boat hire.
