The club says it is an RYA recognised training centre and offers structured beginner courses for adults and juniors, designed to take complete beginners toward confident sailing. Adult Level 1 is described as a relaxed introduction for complete beginners using stable double-handed boats with qualified instructors.
Training
The current training page lists RYA adult National Sailing Scheme courses for ages 16+, including Level 1 Start Sailing and Level 2 Basic Skills, and junior Youth Sailing Scheme Stage 1 and Stage 2 courses. The home page also says the club offers learn-to-sail and powerboat courses throughout the year.
I did not find current official visible content confirming taster sessions, try-sailing sessions, or open days for beginners. The booking area shows open meetings and special events, but the visible current pages reviewed did not describe beginner taster availability.
The club describes itself as family friendly. Junior training is listed for ages 8-16, with junior courses running alongside adult courses. The junior sailing page says younger sailors are kept in a group, use Toppers, and can double up with another young sailor or instructors if needed.
