HISC sits in a stunning position at the entrance to Chichester Harbour with access to the water at all states of the tide. With a modern clubhouse, HISC has wide and welcoming balconies with panoramic views, beaches and picnic areas as well as a barista café, a large bar, restaurant and snack bar.
The club actively welcomes new members across all ages, sailing abilities and class of dinghy or cruiser. The club offers some of the finest sailing, shore and social facilities anywhere in the country, and supports a wide range of sailing-related activities, including dinghy and keelboat racing and cruising, sailing training, youth sailing, boardsports, cruiser and social sailing.
HISC is particularly keen to attract actively racing sailors. Whether you sail a dinghy, windsurfer or keelboat, whether you race or cruise, our considerable depth of experience enables us to offer the best organised racing and cruising events, all from the comfort of a state-of- the-art club renowned for its friendly atmosphere. We have affordable onsite accommodation, modern changing rooms, meeting rooms and training facilities.
The activities on offer at HISC embrace all ages. There are fun and engaging water-based events for toddlers through to adults, a special Women on Water initiative as well as an exciting and competitive dinghy racing and cruiser scene for anyone willing to give it a go.
The club has an extensive hire boat fleet of over 30 boats to make access to the water as easy and hassle-free as possible; everything from children’s boats to family picnic boats and brand new racing dinghies are available to rent for the day.
There is always something going on at the club - from themed dinners to wine tastings, talks in the winter and BBQs, live music and discos in the summer. Check out the ‘social events’ tab on the website for all the latest information.
We offer year-round racing. There is also a membership category for youth sailors taking part in the HISC Youth Winter Training Squads. Please fill out the Winter Youth Application Form and return it to membership.secretary@hisc.co.uk.
