Wormit Boating Club presents itself as a friendly watersports club welcoming local community members. The official membership page says it caters for beginners to more experienced participants in sailing and other watersports. For juniors, Cadet Week explicitly welcomes children who have never been on a boat.
Training
The homepage says the club offers summer training for dinghy sailing. The sailing training page currently promotes Cadet Week 2026, a five-day youth watersports programme guided by qualified, experienced volunteers. The linked Cadet Week page includes sailing activities and says RYA-qualified instructors are involved. No current adult learn-to-sail course schedule or general RYA course list was found.
Wormit Boating Club is a River Tay boating and watersports club with dinghy and small-keelboat sailing, racing, training and a club dinghy fleet alongside rowing and paddlesports.
The homepage says taster sessions are offered for people wishing to row all year round, but it does not clearly say sailing taster sessions are available. The same page says summer dinghy sailing training is offered. No current sailing open-day, trial sail, or taster-session details were found in the reviewed official pages.
Family suitability is supported by the club tagline, family membership, and family membership covering two adults and children under 18. Junior suitability is supported by cadet membership for over 7 and under 18, the safeguarding policy, and Cadet Week 2026 for ages 8 to 15. Cadet Week runs 27 to 31 July 2026 according to the linked Cadet Week page, while the events listing shows 27 July to 1 August 2026; this date mismatch should be treated as unresolved.
Access· Unclear
No explicit accessible sailing, Sailability, disabled access, adaptive equipment, step-free access, or access-needs support information was found. The safeguarding policy includes non-discrimination language for children, and the byelaws allow guide dogs in club buildings, but these do not confirm accessible sailing provision.

Official site and membership page describe a family-friendly boating and watersports club offering sailing, rowing, kayaking, swimming and paddleboarding, with sailing races and training.
Members without their own boat can sail one of the club's fleet of dinghies. The byelaws state that no club dinghy may be launched without prior approval, that there must be a safety boat on station, and that a fee for club dinghy use is determined by the committee. This supports member use of club dinghies but not visitor hire or a published hire price.
