Royal Solent Yacht Club

The club welcomes applications from new as well as experienced sailors, and people without a proposer/seconder can arrange a visit to meet a Club Official; however, the published sailing training found is aimed at sailors with existing competence rather than complete beginners.

Training found includes an RYA-recognised Powerboat Level 2 course for RSYC members only and Laser Training for sailors who already have small-dinghy or Laser competence.

No current official page was found confirming beginner taster sessions, open days, or try-sailing sessions.

The club says it is keen to encourage families, offers family membership covering children under 18, runs dinghy activity for a range of ages and abilities, and co-hosts an Isle of Wight youth/junior dinghy championship leg.

The site mentions a lift in the clubhouse navigation copy, but no current detailed accessibility or access-needs information was found.

The club has four Lasers for hire to suitably competent club members during scheduled club sailing sessions; hire is subject to availability and conditions.
