Training· Unclear
No current sailing training, lessons, RYA course, or learn-to-sail offer was found on the checked official pages. The club describes member racing and cruising activity, but not formal training.
Taster· Unclear
No current taster session, open day, trial sail, or bookable introductory sailing offer was found on the checked official pages. Prospective visitors are asked to contact the club before visiting because the entrance gate is likely to be locked.
