The official SEGAS site says it is friendly, supportive, and welcomes sailors of all disciplines, but it does not clearly state whether complete beginners can start through the club itself. Medway Watersports, operating from the same Strand Approach Road site, advertises beginner-friendly sailing sessions, so beginner opportunities may exist locally but are not confirmed as SEGAS club provision.
Training· Unclear
SEGAS has an official Training and Courses page, but the only visible dated item checked was a diesel engine maintenance/troubleshooting evening from 28 November 2023. No current SEGAS RYA learn-to-sail course availability was found on the official club site. The RYA listing identifies SEGAS as a club, not as a training centre in the visible page content.
No current SEGAS-run taster sessions or open days were found on the official club site. Medway Watersports advertises 2026 sailing tasters at the same Strand Approach Road site, but these are listed under Medway Watersports rather than SEGAS Sailing Club.
The official SEGAS pages checked did not describe a junior or family sailing programme. A separate Medway Watersports listing at the same site advertises RYA OnBoard Junior Sailing for ages 8-18, so junior opportunities may be available locally but are not confirmed as SEGAS club provision.
Access· Unclear
No accessibility, disability sailing, step-free access, changing accessibility, or access-needs information was found on the official SEGAS pages checked.

Costs, membership, and boats
Prices
Some official prices are published. Summer Mooring membership 2024 fees are listed as GBP 230 membership, GBP 25 refundable key deposit, and 50% of the per metre rate, currently GBP 123/year. Medway Watersports, a separate organisation at the same site, lists selected 2026 sailing sessions at GBP 5, GBP 15, and GBP 18, but these should not be treated as SEGAS membership/course prices.
The official SEGAS site describes moorings, member boat storage, tender park, and facilities, but does not state that club boats are available to hire or borrow. Medway Watersports lists use of Toppers and double-handers for its sessions at the same site, but this is not confirmed as SEGAS club boat hire.
