The 80th Anniversary of the Commissioning of HISC for COPP HQ
As many of you know, HISC has a plentiful history - including our sailing club being used by the Royal Navy in WW2 as the base for COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties).
These were dedicated teams trained in covert operations, reconnoitring beaches selected for landings on enemy occupied territory throughout the world.
HISC was officially commissioned as COPP HQ on 4th February 1943.

Boat Park Work Party
11.00am Saturday 28th Jan
Please help your club in our first for a while Boat Park Work Party! Our aim is to get more people sailing and racing this coming season by sorting out the boat parks.
Sin Binned boats
A number of boats have been removed from the boat park and taken to the Sin Bin.

Kayaks, Windsurfers and SUPs
Sadly, some areas of our boat park are looking really unkept. Kayaks, Windsurfers and SUPs can be stored ON TOP of your dinghy. They should not be stored on the dunes or between boats.
Also boards and kayaks must be removed from the Racking areas in the West Boat Park (youth area) by the end of January . . . as we will be offering these spaces to boats . . .
Dinghy Park Waiting List
We currently have over 100 boats on the waiting lis. Our goal is that by the end of January, we will be in a position to offer every supported fleet boat and as many unsupported fleet boats as possible a space for the 2023 season . . .
HISC at Dinghy & Watersports Show
HISC will have a stand at the 2023 RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show at Farnborough International on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 February . . .
