The club says new members are always very welcome and that all new members are welcome whatever their level of sailing ability. It also says inexperienced sailors are often welcome as crew on double-handed boats.
Training· Unclear
I did not find current visible official information confirming RYA courses, formal training, or learn-to-sail courses on the reviewed pages.
The club lists family membership and a single junior under-18 membership, with the junior fee waived for the first year. The sailing page says Toppers are particularly popular with younger sailors, and the downloads page lists an introductory leaflet specifically for potential junior members.
Access· Unclear
The downloads page lists an equality policy, but I did not find current visible official information about physical accessibility, adapted sailing, or specific access needs provision on the reviewed pages.
