Membership
Highcliffe Sailing Club welcomes new members of all sailing abilities, the aim of the club is to promote the Sport of Sailing both for those wishing to race and just cruiser. The majority of the organised activities are based around Dinghy Racing with a programme of events both in the sheltered waters of Christchurch harbour and at sea in Christchurch Bay.
Members benefit from
A well located club house for both harbour and sea sailing
Hot Showers
Dinghy park (annual & Temporary )
Racing in Christchurch Bay and Christchurch Harbour (all without any additional race fees)
Sail storage lockers
Licensed bar
etc
The Club is run by volunteers and all members are asked to give up some of their time, and their expertise, to help with the running of the club and its events. A willing band of helpers is required if the voluntary spirit and low fees are to be maintained.
There is no waiting list but there is high demand for dinghy park spaces and their availability varies through the year.
Please visit the club, ideally on a Sunday around lunchtime, meet members and have a look around. Application forms are available in the club or downloadable using the link below.
