If you are an experienced dinghy sailor or have your White Sail Certificate and would like to join the club the club requires that you be "tested" by an approved instructor evaluator who is a member of Mooredale to make sure you really do know how to sail so you don't wreck the boats and/or yourself. It is recommended that you take White Sail as your will learn "the Mooredale way" to do things like store sails etc. and it is a good way to meet fellow sailors, in your class.

Boat ownership is not required when learning to sail or sailing at Mooredale Sailing Club. The club has a fleet of 18 Albacores, 6 Lasers and 1 Hobie cat.
 Albacores: Lessons are taken in Albacore boats. Albacores are 2-person boats that require a helm and a crew to sail. On completion of the White Sail Certificate you are able to helm (drive) the boat or crew the boat (work the sails etc.). Once a White Sail Certificate is achieved you can take out the club Albacore boats when you want, the use of boats is unlimited and at no extra cost.
Lasers: Lasers are 1-person boats. Laser sailing clinics are held periodically during the summer and are open to all Members who have completed White Sail. The clinics ensure that you are proficient in sailing a Laser and on completion you may take out a Laser if you choose.
