🛠️ A great day at Southampton Sailing Club!

A huge thank you to all of our members who gave up their time for our Autumn Maintenance Day.

We had a fantastic turnout and managed to get a huge amount done around the clubhouse and compound, from general maintenance and repairs through to painting, tidying and preparing the compound for the winter months.

The club is looking great, and days like this really show how much can be achieved when everyone gets involved.

Thank you again to everyone who helped! ⛵

🚢 A busy Saturday ahead on Southampton Water! ⛵

If you’re out on or around the water this Saturday 10th October, there should be plenty to see, with Arvia, Liberty of the Seas and Sky Princess all scheduled to visit Southampton.

One of the great things about sailing on Southampton Water is the variety of vessels we get to see passing by, from dinghies and yachts to some of the largest ships afloat.

☀️ Summer Social Success! ⛵

We had a fantastic time at our recent Summer Social, with members, families and friends enjoying an afternoon of beach games, paddleboarding, great food and plenty of sunshine.

It was wonderful to see so many people making the most of the waterfront, catching up with friends and welcoming new faces. Events like these are a great reminder that Southampton Sailing Club is about much more than sailing. We're a friendly and active community with something for everyone.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered and helped make the day such a success.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our next social event!

☀️ A Successful Island Harbour Rally 2026 ⛵

A great weekend on the water last weekend!

Our members enjoyed another successful rally to Island Harbour, with cruisers and a dinghy making the trip across the Solent. With sunshine, great sailing and a relaxed evening ashore, it was a fantastic couple of days for everyone involved.

A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the weekend such a success.

If you're interested in getting out on the water, whether you're an experienced sailor or completely new to sailing, we'd love to welcome you to Southampton Sailing Club.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Open Day on Saturday 20th June!

We had a fantastic day at Southampton Sailing Club, welcoming lots of visitors and getting plenty of people out on the water to experience sailing for themselves. It was great to see so many smiling faces, both onshore and afloat.

A special thank you also goes to all of our volunteers who gave up their time to help run the event. Whether you were taking people sailing, helping with tours, running the barbecue, staffing the bar, or assisting behind the scenes, the day would not have been possible without you.

A slightly late post from our recent Recreational Sailing session last week... but with the weather we had, we were too busy making the most of it! ☀️⛵

It was a very hot evening for sailing, and great to see members out on the water enjoying the sunshine, building confidence, brushing off the cobwebs, and simply having a relaxed sail in good company.

Our Recreational Sailing sessions are all about getting our members afloat in a welcoming and supportive environment, with opportunities for a range of experience levels.

Thanks to everyone who came along, and enjoy a few photos from the evening! 📸

If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to hear from you. Membership is available.
