Beginner
The current official training page says adult training is designed for complete beginners and improvers, is open to members and non-members, and can include dinghies, keelboats and work toward RYA qualifications. The join page also says people who have not sailed and would like to try can come to Social Saturdays or contact the secretary about joining on a Sunday afternoon.
Training
The club publishes current 2026 training for juniors, adults and powerboating. Junior Sunday training welcomes all abilities and Junior Week on 24-28 August 2026 includes learn-to-sail and improver groups. Adult training has 2026 dates and can work toward RYA qualifications. Powerboat training lists 2026 PBL1, PBL2 and Safety Boat courses, though those dates had passed by this check.
Taster
The join page describes Social Saturdays as an opportunity to come and try sailing, try different boats, and bring family and friends. The training page also says Junior Week on 24-28 August 2026 includes try-a-boat sessions for ages 8-17. No separate current public open-day date was confirmed.
