Beginner
The club says sailing is open to everyone, including complete beginners, and its FAQ says no sailing experience is needed. New members are told they can join even if they have never been on a boat before, subject to completing the swim test before sessions.
Training
The club says it runs training every Wednesday and recreational sailing every Saturday. It also describes RYA Level 1 for complete beginners and RYA Level 2 for improvers, with course information to appear when confirmed.
The New Members page says prospective sailors can sign up for a session through the Facebook page or turn up to one of the club's taster sessions. No current taster-session dates are listed on the visible page.
The visible club pages reviewed do not state whether juniors or families can participate.
Access· Unclear
The visible club pages reviewed do not give accessibility or specific access-needs information. They do state that a swim test is required before sailing for insurance reasons.
