Racing sailing boats is a passion at Hayling Island Sailing Club. As in most walks of life, every individual has a preference for the kind of racing that they wish to do, and in order to cater for these preferences, HISC provides a full and varied racing programme.
There are several classes active at the club, including three Junior and Youth classes, which provide whatever style of sailing a member may wish to choose, from una rig single hander to twin trapeze asymetric to keel boat. These include Optimists, Solos, 29er, RS Feva, RS Elite, Flying Fifteen etc
The ubiquitous Laser Laser Radial and Wayfarers are raced alongside various types of RS representing the more exotic side of the sport; catamarans are not sailed at Locks because there is insufficient compound space. There is also a cruiser sailing section.
Ashdown Sailing Club is a friendly club with members ranging from very experienced sailors, to novices who have never set foot on a boat before. The club puts crew and boat owners together on club cruises and rallies, both in the Solent area and further afield. The Club sails form the Solent and has Social meetings near East Grinstead.
We offer the chance to regularly meet other enthusiasts and experience the pleasure of sailing in waters such as the Solent, the English Channel, across to France and the Channel Islands. By sailing with and meeting other like-minded people, members can draw on the extensive knowledge of others in a friendly, sociable atmosphere and at a very reasonable cost. We welcome a spectrum, from complete novices, who may only want to see what sailing is all about, to experienced boat owners, who appreciate the advantages of experienced crew and sailing in company. The Club sails from the Solent and has social meetings in Espom.

with a strong family tradition, there are approximately 750 adult members and some 200 juniors and there is storage space for around 100 dinghies in the summer and 40 cruisers in the winter. The Emsworth Mud Slippers Sailing Club was officially formed in 1921, although an interest in sailing can be traced back earlier than this, but it was not until 1963 that the club purchased a home of its own in the Anchor, South Street.
In 1977, the club purchased the long derelict mill and the members started the huge task of making it into the award winning building and thriving sailing club that it is today. ESSC is very much a "members club" relying on volunteers to lead and support all the activities, both on and off the water, and the majority of the members live in Emsworth or nearby.
The object of the club is to encourage amateur sailing and boating and to provide and maintain a clubhouse and social facilities. We have novices of all ages learning to sail and members who are or have been national and international sailing champions and we enjoy competitive but friendly racing in both dinghies and yachts. We enjoy an active social programme and are fortunate to have one of the most attractive clubhouses in Chichester Harbour. The club is an RYA Recognised Training Centre and a Volvo Champion Club. We organise a wide range of courses on and off the water for our members throughout the year.
