Hayling Island Sailing Club

As a result of this, about 120 members were enrolled at an annual subscription of 1 guinea, and enjoyed handicap racing with a varied collection of boats.

However, the desire for a one-design led to the introduction of a Hayling Island Class boat costing some £50 fully equipped.

Until 2001 the Clubhouse was a two-storey brick building, built in a cruciform shape, and designed by the late Captain Ivan Snell, MC.

With a lottery grant awarded to the club, in recognition of becoming the RYA's Centre of Excellence on the South Coast, redevelopment of a new Clubhouse was completed early in 2003, which was inaugurated by The Princess Royal.

Every weekend during the main sailing season the Club holds points races for a range of dinghy, keelboat and cruiser classes, and combines with the other clubs in the harbour in the organising of Regattas and Chichester Harbour Race Week (Fed Week).
