Welcome to Seafarers Sailing Club
This is the Seafarers Sailing Club's Membership and Event Booking System. Here you can apply for Membership, maintain and renew your membership records & subscriptions and also book sailing courses and social events. If you have a problems or questions, please contact the

All Training Courses and Social Events can only be booked by Club members. It is therefore necessary to have a membership account and to sign in to book all events.
The Seafarers Sailing Club is a small, friendly club formed to encourage the sport of dinghy sailing by the promotion of racing, cruising and training. The clubhouse is situated on the Solent between Hill Head and Lee-on-the-Solent overlooking the Isle of Wight. The Club has approximately 140 memberships. As the majority have "family" memberships, the number of people entitled to use our facilities is around 300. There are about 140 boat spaces in the compound, which is usually just sufficient to meet members' demands.

You will then be invited to visit the club for an informal visit, when you can ask any questions, be shown around and told how the club operates. Your application will also be presented to the committee at the next management meeting (monthly) for confirmation of membership.
The Club is a non-commercial, non-profit making organisation and is run entirely by volunteers. The club is not able to function without you, and this is also a great opportunity to get to know other members. One member from each membership (i.e. one per family) is obliged to carry out 5 Duty Crews per year, to assist with the running of races. Duty Crews can be Beach Crew, Patrol Boat Driver/Crew, Tractor Driver, Officer of the Day/Deputy Officer of the Day. These occur on race days on Thursday evenings, Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings. A substitute needs to be arranged if you are unable to attend. Cadet Members and Student Members (away at university) are not required to carry out Duty Crews.
Other events (socials, training, cruising, practice sailing and maintenance) are also run by volunteers.
There is no maximum membership pertaining to the Seafarers, however there is sometimes a waiting list for a boat space.
