Beginner
The club says no previous sailing experience is necessary because it runs training courses and has club boats available. Its training page says Coombe Cellars provides sheltered water ideal for beginners, and the 2025 course listing included adult and junior courses aimed at beginners.
Training
TCYC states it is an RYA Approved Training Centre for sail and powerboat courses, with sail training for adults and juniors over the summer, powerboat courses, first aid courses, possible VHF courses, and cruising theory courses. Courses are described as members-only on the training information page.
Taster
The site invites people who want to have a go to use two club keel boats on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The club boat page says non-members can take part, no experience is necessary, life jackets and some waterproofs are available if needed, and a donation plus temporary membership charge is requested.

Suitability

Juniors, families, and accessibility

Juniors
The training page says sail training courses are run for adults and juniors. The 2025 course list included junior beginner and improver courses, plus cadet coaching sessions. The fee page lists Cadet and Family membership categories.
Access· Unclear
No clear general accessibility or access-needs information was found on the reviewed official pages. The club boat page does state that participants need sufficient mobility to get into a tender from the slipway and transfer to the boat on its mooring, but this is specific to that activity rather than a full accessibility statement.
