Welcome
Club Supported Charity
Welcome to the Seafarers Sailing Club website.
Seafarers Sailing Club is a small, friendly club formed to encourage the sport of dinghy sailing by the provision of racing, cruising and training. The clubhouse is situated on the Solent between Hill Head and Lee-on-Solent overlooking the Isle of Wight. The Club has approximately 130 paying members. As the majority have "family" membership, the number of people entitled to use our facilities is over 200. There are over 100 boat spaces in the compound which is usually just sufficient to meet members' demands. See About SSC for more details.

- Saturday 30 June – Families and Friends Fun Day
- This year’s Families and Friends Fun day is nearly upon us. It is always a great event but only because so many members come along and join in. This year we are keen to open the day up to friends to show them what they are missing out on! The emphasis is on providing a relaxed day and, as the title suggests, a FUN one.
- The outline plan is as follows:
- 0930 meet in the clubhouse for briefing, coffee, etc.
- 1030-1230 on the water for a choice of activities including race coaching, taster sessions, capsize practice, sailing improvement, Alpha sessions for the cadets/children, etc.
- 1230-1330 lunch - bring your picnic along but don't worry about drinks; we have a stock of refreshing beverages in the bar.
- 1400-1600 fun racing based on a relay type race - possibly changing over crews on the beach and/or using the liferaft. Fancy dress welcomed for crews and boats.
- 1730-2100 BBQ, salad and light dessert.
- To maximise attendance we will keep the food costs at a minimum - £6 for adults and £3 for cadets. So please do put the date in your diary, ask a friend and/or family members to join you and sign up for the BBQ on WebCollect . To help planning please do not leave this until the last minute.
- Pete Cox has kindly agreed to run the day but we need a few of volunteers to man the Patrol Boat, help lead the morning sessions and prepare food for the evening. If you are happy to help, please contact .
- Sunday 1 July - Craft Corner
- The next Craft Corner session will be on Sunday 1st July from 1pm to 3pm. This will again be a 'free activity' session focusing on our individual crafts.
- Tea and coffee available with a small donation payable. Everyone welcome.
- Saturday 14 July – SLOSHH Race
- This annual race between Seafarers, Hill Head and Lee on the Solent sailing clubs provides an opportunity to compete with our fellow sailors from nearby clubs and to race against different boats. All are welcome. It doesn’t matter if you have never raced before; the main reason to take part is to have fun. The scoring system rewards greater participation. This means the more of you that take part, the better our chance of regaining the SLOSHH trophy.
- This year we are the hosts. HW is at 1:00pm and the Duty Crew is D. Entry is free. Refreshments will be available in the clubhouse after the race.
- Although the Programme shows the race starting at 2:30pm, an earlier start (12:30 to 13:30) may be convenient for the other clubs. A Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions will be issued in the next few weeks providing such details. Meanwhile, if you have any queries, please contact Nathan, .
- Saturday 21 July – Caribbean Evening
- You simply must take part in the sizzling event of the year, a Seafarers' Caribbean Evening! An inspiring Caribbean buffet followed by a fun quiz; how's your knowledge of the Caribbean area?
- Starts at 8pm - come dressed the part in colourful Caribbean style! You can sign up now on WebCollect .
