Hill Head Sailing Club

Sport & Leisure, Hill Head

Hill Head Sailing Club is based near the harbour and provides dinghy sailing on the Solent for members and visitors. The club has a modest clubhouse and a slipway, and it runs regular racing events and social sailing sessions throughout the season. The club caters for a range of abilities, from beginners taking their first lessons to experienced sailors racing competitively. Cadets and junior sailors are welcomed, and the club runs youth training programmes during school holidays. The sailing conditions at Hill Head are influenced by the tidal patterns of the Solent, and the area offers good sailing in moderate conditions, though the shingle beach and shallow waters close to shore require some local knowledge. The club is a sociable organisation, with a programme of social events alongside the sailing calendar.
