Beginner
The club says new members only need enthusiasm for sailing and that membership is open to everyone regardless of sailing experience or expertise. Its dinghy page describes dinghy sailing as a way to get on the water and learn about the river, while warning that the river can be challenging.
Training
Current official content points to informal sailing support rather than a clearly listed in-house RYA course programme: the dinghy page says new dinghy sailors should contact a committee member to see whether open sailing days with informal tuition and safety boat cover are running. The club also links to training courses at Starcross Fishing and Cruising Club and Starcross Yacht Club, including an arrangement for TSC members at Starcross Yacht Club when space is available.
The club invites people interested in getting on the water to come in, call, or contact the club. For new dinghy sailors, the site says to contact a committee member to see if open sailing days are running, and the club dinghies page says to watch for Open Sailing sessions with safety boat cover. No fixed public taster-session dates were found on the reviewed pages.
