The lecturers donate their services. The courses are well received and attended. Separate, less formal courses for juniors are conducted in the small boat shed. Local children arrive, and are accepted as interested children. Parents consent is required before they may venture on the water.
Public access is permitted during the day.
The main gates to the yacht club yard open 8am to 6pm, 7pm in summer. Other than warning signs referring to the need for care in a working area no restriction is placed on public entry. Photographers and painters are often seen in the yard in summer. Groups of school children also avail themselves of the opportunity to see boats out of the water and people at work. The public is not encouraged to venture out on marinas because no staff is available to supervise them.
