Hayling Island Sailing Club will be opening their doors to the local community. This free-to-attend event is open to all ages and abilities and will offer visitors the chance to try sailing and discover watersports, in a welcoming, safe and family-friendly environment.

Visitors will have the opportunity to chat to club members, explore the clubhouse facilities and get out on the water with our taster sailing or RIB sessions to get a real flavour of life at the club.

Juniors can look forward to seeing all of the fun activities HISC has on offer, and open day visitors are also invited to round off the day with complimentary tea and cake, while enjoying the stunning sea views from the clubhouse balcony. The club bar will also be open for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for visitors to enjoy.

Chris Rainbow, General Manager of Hayling Island Sailing Club said: "Our Open Day is a great opportunity for people to see what getting on the water at HISC is really like. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and friendly club, and we're looking forward to welcoming new faces and sharing our passion for watersports."

New for this year's open event, for those with an interest in windsurfing or winging, there will be live demonstrations, along with the chance to launch your own kit from the club and connect with other enthusiasts.

Hayling Island Sailing Club has a long-standing reputation for providing accessible sailing opportunities in one of the UK's premier sailing locations. The free Open Day aims to encourage the local community to experience life on the water and see what they are missing.
