Can a beginner start here?

Yacht sailing, Keelboat racing, Cruiser sailing, Multihull sailing, Cadet sailing, Regattas, Social sailing

Beginner· Unclear
The site invites new members and notes extra race crew are often needed, but I found no clear official statement that complete beginners can start sailing here.
Training· Unclear
No current RYA course, adult learn-to-sail, or structured training details were found on the official pages reviewed.
Taster· Unclear
The main site advertises food taster nights, not sailing tasters. A visible Instagram search snippet suggested an Open Day and Family Fun event, but I could not verify full details on the official website.
