The RYA listing shows Strangford Sailing Club as a Training Centre offering beginner dinghy courses including Dinghy Level 1 - Start Sailing, Dinghy Level 2 - Basic Skills, Youth Dinghy Sailing Stage 1 and Stage 2, plus beginner powerboat courses. A current indexed official-site result also says the club is an RYA recognised Training Club.
Training
The RYA listing identifies the club as a Training Centre and lists dinghy, youth dinghy, powerboat, safety boat, Swim Safe with OnBoard, and Marine Radio SRC course/exam options. Official-site indexed results also show an RTC page and RYA safeguarding/training-centre policy documents.
Taster
Current official social/search results show SSC Open Day 2026 on Saturday 18 April 2026 and a June 2026 post saying the club welcomed P7 pupils from St Joseph's Primary School for sailing taster sessions. This supports open-day/taster activity, but routine public taster booking details were not found.
