Beginner
The official domain was not accessible for current content and redirected to a parked/for-sale page. The current Go Sail listing says SYM is a family friendly sailing club on safe inland water and has boats for members or potential members who want to come and try it. Current course-directory pages list RYA Level 1 Start Sailing, which is a beginner pathway, but dates require contacting/requesting information.
Training
Go Sail says the club runs RYA approved courses for members. Current Yotspot course pages/listings show RYA Level 1 Start Sailing, RYA Level 2 dinghy, RYA Safety Boat, RYA Sailing with Spinnakers, and RYA Seamanship Skills associated with Stubbers Young Mariners Sailing Club; listed dates are contact/request-information rather than fixed published dates.
Taster
Go Sail says the club has several boats for members or potential members who wish to come and try it. No separate current open-day schedule or booking calendar was found in accessible current sources.
