Beginner
Beginners can start here through adult/private tuition and junior beginner courses. Adult private tuition says it can teach from beginners, and junior courses include novice and beginner/improver options from age 8.
Training
The club is listed as a recognised RYA Training Centre. It offers junior RYA Youth Sailing Scheme stages 1 to 4, junior courses/events, and adult/private sailing tuition; adult powerboat training contact details are also provided.
A 2026 open day article advertised trial sails and sailing taster sessions in yachts and dinghies, bookable online, with no charge and buoyancy aids provided. This is evidence of a specific dated opportunity, not necessarily a recurring programme.
Junior sailing is a major part of the club. The Junior Sail Training section runs courses for ages 8 to 16, with novice courses from age 8 plus, junior race coaching, week courses, and safeguarding information. Membership is described as open to all ages.
Access· Unclear
I did not find current official information about wheelchair access, adapted sailing, accessible toilets/changing, or support for specific access needs on the checked pages.

The club states it owns an Ajax, Vim, available for members to use for sailing and racing by request. Junior/adult training also uses club dinghies and support boats, but I did not find general public boat-hire prices or terms.
