Roach Sailing Association

RSA describes itself as a friendly, volunteer-run club and says it welcomes cruisers and dinghies. The About page says newcomers keen to learn the ropes are welcome, but the risk policy says inexperienced people should take part in water activities only under guidance from an experienced person and that members are responsible for their own conduct and safety.

No explicit RYA courses, formal training programme, or learn-to-sail course offer was found on the checked official pages. The site mentions skill growth, sharpening skills, and newcomers learning the ropes, but not a structured training pathway.

No taster session or open day offer was found on the checked official pages. The 2025 event calendar includes races, cruises, work parties, suppers, and social afloat events; one event calendar note says people who would like to crew with one of the boats racing should contact the RSA Racing WhatsApp group.

No dedicated junior or family sailing programme was found. The risk policy says children, young people, or inexperienced people should participate in water activities only under the guidance of an experienced person who takes responsibility for them.

No accessibility, disabled access, adapted sailing, or specific access-needs information was found on the checked official pages.

No boat hire or club boat loan information was found. The racing instructions and risk policy indicate participants are responsible for their own boat safety and life-saving equipment. The moorings page says RSA does not provide moorings or boatyard facilities.
