Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors
The club describes itself as family-based and says it offers RYA-certified training for adults and children. The course page lists junior courses, and the club boat page lists junior and children's boats including Toppers, Optimists, and a Laser Pico. A 2025 Splash and Sail post advertised sessions for age 7+ at GBP 5 for non-members, but those dated sessions are in the past as of this check.
Access· Unclear
The visible official pages reviewed did not provide specific accessibility information such as step-free access, accessible toilets, adapted sailing provision, or support for specific access needs. The site does publish safety, safeguarding, code of conduct, and equality policy downloads, but those were not enough to confirm practical accessibility provision from visible page text.
