Beginner
Tamesis Club presents itself as an RYA Recognised Training Centre with adult and youth dinghy sailing routes for beginners. Adult RYA Level 1 is described as a relaxed introduction for beginners, youth courses are open to beginners and improvers, and the joining page says no previous sailing experience is needed for the summer Social Sailing visitor opportunity.
Training
The club states it is an RYA Recognised Training Centre and lists RYA adult Level 1 and Level 2 dinghy courses plus youth Stages 1 to 4 and advanced modules. The 2026 pages include course schedules, availability, timings, and booking instructions via the contact form.
Taster
The joining page says visitors can come when the club is open and that, once a month on a Sunday afternoon in summer, the Social Sailing group can offer a chance to get on the water in a club boat to see if river sailing is for them. The contact form includes options for trying sailing with an experienced helm and visiting to find out more; the FAQ also says the club can arrange a sail if contacted in advance.
