Beginner
The club has beginner-relevant sailing training: its 2026 training page says Friday night training is for all ages, groups are based on age and experience, and people without sailing kit can start with quick-dry sports clothing and old trainers. The homepage also says training is available for members.
Training
2026 Friday night sailing training starts on 1 May 2026 from 6pm, with possible 6.30pm starts depending on availability. The club asks people to email training@tc-sc.co.uk with names and ages to sign up. Safety boat and Race Office training may also be available during the season subject to demand.
Taster· Unclear
I found current official training and event information, but no visible current official page clearly advertising taster sessions, open days, or try-sailing sessions.
