Southampton Sailing Club Information

Southampton Sailing Club offers dinghy sailors the chance to enjoy their sport in a safe and friendly atmosphere. The emphasis is on enjoying our time on the water rather than having the latest boats and carbon fibre components. Dinghies can be launched from the slip alongside the club from three hours before to three hours after high tide, although on some neaps the tide hardly leaves the slip at all. The predominant winds are onshore and the waters close to the club are clear of larger traffic. The club house features newly refurbished changing facilities, a kitchen and social area available for use by members and a bar which is open after events and on Wednesday and Friday evenings. We organise a range of social events including Guy Fawkes fireworks and bonfire, New Year celebrations, Christmas dinner, etc. The club has a selection of club boats, buoyancy aids and mast floats which are available to members free of charge, use is limited to participation in organised club events however. Events for our Cadet members are run alongside the recreational sailing and Cadets are encouraged to participate in club races.
