Beginner
The official site describes beginner cadets as part of its junior sailing programme, including sessions for Senior, Intermediate and Beginner cadets. This is clear evidence for junior beginners; the site does not clearly state an equivalent adult beginner pathway.
Training
The site says subscriptions support a local training programme. The cadets page describes introducing juniors to safe use of small sailing craft, basic race activities, experienced helmsmen, visiting national coaches, and intensive training weekends.
Taster· Unclear
No current visible official page found that clearly advertises taster sessions, open days, or a specific try-sailing offer. The site mentions events, regattas, fun sails, and weekly/family sailing sessions, but not as public taster sessions.
