Hayling Ferry Sailing Club is a small, friendly club, superbly located at the western tip of Hayling Island. From our well equipped club house, our fleet of catamarans and monohulls enjoys some of the best sailing in the Solent and the south coast of England.

Line honours to Luke and Jennefer, approx 1 hr 12 mins to finish. Jennefer apparently screamed for first ten minutes due to conditions but Luke brought her home safely if a bit “exhilarated” (insert word of your choice here)?

A gentle breeze made it ok for the race to get underway but the slower boats struggled with enough wind later on to get through the submarine barrier inner gap the second time round and had to be towed nearer the harbour entrance to find enough wind to get home.
First Race of the season, saw great sailing weather, sunny enough to make everyone's cheeks look rosy, lasting beyond the exertions of the outing
Winter cobwebs were well and truly blown out, boat gremlins were identified and put on the list to sort
