The club is a yacht-cruising club with member cruises and mooring facilities, but the checked current pages did not clearly state that complete beginners can start sailing there. Membership normally requires proposer and seconder support, and prospective members are invited to introduce themselves and ask questions.
Training
The official site describes the clubhouse as a hub for regular training courses and states on the visitors page that the club is an ICC test centre with ICC assessment and RYA online CEVNI test access. No current beginner learn-to-sail course was found.
Taster· Unclear
No current taster sail, trial sail, open day, or similar low-commitment sailing offer was found on the checked current pages. The visitors page is aimed at visiting yachts rather than people trying sailing.
