Beginner

Sutton Sailing Club explicitly presents itself as suitable for beginners, saying it offers facilities for beginners through to club racers and runs courses that take people from absolute beginner to controlling a sailing boat in fair conditions. The adult RYA Level 1 and 2 dinghy course is described as a four-day beginner course, with a prerequisite that participants can swim well and are confident in deep water.

Training

The club states it is an RYA recognised training centre. It advertises RYA Level 1 and 2 dinghy sailing for adults, RYA Youth Stages for juniors, member-only powerboat and safety boat courses, and improver/JCIC sessions for adults and juniors after the beginner course. The next listed adult and junior sailing course dates are Saturdays 19 September, 26 September, 3 October, and 10 October 2026.
