Hayling Island Sailing Club

Hayling Island Sailing Club

Located on an isolated sandy peninsula known as "Sandy Point," at the entrance to Chichester Harbour, England, the Hayling Island Sailing Club, was founded in 1921.

The club recently built a new club house, which was inaugurated by HRH Princess Anne.

Nearby waters can be used as a mock-Olympic track, and regular classes are held to teach the basics of sailing.
