Beginner
The official sailing page says NQYC has activities for sailors of all skill levels and that members offer training and support for people new to sailing. The club page also describes New Quay Bay as a safe place to bring children and says early confidence is built through playing and learning on the water.
Training
NQYC describes friendly training opportunities and member support for sailors new to the sport. The club page also says Optimist Learner sessions and work with Cardigan Bay Watersports continue. Cardigan Bay Watersports, a separate local provider in New Quay Bay, currently advertises RYA sailing courses, youth stages, tasters and regular sailing sessions, so RYA/course details should be treated as the partner/local route rather than NQYC-run courses unless the club confirms otherwise.
Taster· Unclear
No current official NQYC page found listing a public taster session, open day, trial sail date, or club-run try-sailing booking route. Cardigan Bay Watersports advertises sailing tasters in New Quay Bay, but that is a separate local provider and should not be presented as an NQYC taster offer without confirmation.

No current official page found giving Sailability, adaptive sailing, disabled access, wheelchair access, accessible toilets, hoists, adapted boats, or other practical access-needs information.

Costs

Costs, membership, and boats

Prices

The official membership page is the current route for club membership fees. Search-visible text from that official page shows annual fee lines, including Young Adult Member (age 18-29) and Junior Member (age 10-17), and says membership fees are for the calendar year due on 1 January, but the full page could not be opened directly because of site security verification. Use the membership URL for current prices and avoid inferring missing categories or full fee details.

Membership

Official site provides membership information and current officer/contact details; local tourism source describes a busy on-water and social programme.

Boat hire· Unclear
No current official NQYC evidence found for public boat hire or member club-boat hire. Cardigan Bay Watersports uses its own boats for courses and tasters, but that is a separate local provider and is not evidence of NQYC boat hire.
