Beginner
The club explicitly encourages new members to dinghy sailing, has an active sail training scheme, and its 2026 dinghy programme says there is something for everyone whether new to sailing or a regular racer. A 2024 try-sail event also said no previous experience was necessary, but that specific event is expired.
Training
The official site says the club has an active sail training scheme run in accordance with the RYA. The 2026 dinghy programme lists Thursday evening sail training and social sessions with opportunities to work towards an RYA Sailing certificate. The RYA listing identifies the club as a Training Centre and lists dinghy, youth dinghy, powerboat, and safety boat courses.
Taster
The 2026 dinghy programme includes a Try-Sail Event intended to give potential new members a fun introduction to sailing and encourage newcomers to continue learning. The site also has an expired 18 May 2024 have-a-go taster notice, so only the 2026 programme is treated as current evidence of taster availability.
