HISC RS200 Fleet . . .

Hayling Island Sailing Club hosts the best RS200 fleet in the country, with approaching fifty RS200s registered at the club and won top club at the 2011 Nationals. It's not just the standard of competition that makes HISC stand out, it's the depth. Whoever you are, Olympian, or just learning to sail, the HISC RS200 fleet can provide fun, close racing for you.

HISC is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a state of the art club house. Sailing is achievable almost all of the time, either in the sheltered waters of the Harbour, or out in Hayling Bay. But, if the sailing is off, the social will certainly be on. The club is a great location for just meeting friends at the bar or spending time with the family.

If you'd like to find out more about RS200 sailing at HISC then don't hesitate to contact the class captain Tom Morris: RS200captain@hisc.co.uk

2013 RS200 Special Events

HISC RS200 Open: 29/30th June

This year the RS200 circuit returns to HISC! This is your opportunity to experience the thrills of big fleet racing without having to leave the comfort of Hayling. However, it's also our chance to show potential new members what a large and friendly fleet we have. I'll be going out of my way to show the class how much we care about our open. On Friday evening we'll be running a meet and greet with tidal charts and racing tips for the bay. Saturday evening there will be a coaching seminar, cheap meal and all followed by a wicked social.

Sandy Shell (unofficial world championships): Saturday 12th October (club prize giving day for great social)

Need I say anything more?? Everyone surely knows this is THE event and a great season close out.
Andrea's event, superbly run and superbly attended. Expect around 20 RS200s racing on 'sprint' courses lasting 15-20 minutes. Usually 4 or 5 races packed in with super quick turnarounds. This is just the sort of high intensity racing you want on an October day; zero messing around. Probably the best RS200 club racing in the country and it's at your club; make the most of it!

Glyn Charles 11th May and Spring Sprints 12th May

I never knew Glyn, but judging by the epic summer pursuit race that bears his name he must have been a great bloke. The proceeds go to the John Merrick sailing trust (a great cause) and many of the country's top sailors turn up for the fantastic pursuit around the harbour. RS200 results will be extracted as used as a non-discardable long distance race to go towards Sunday's sprints.
By popular demand after the huge success of the Sandy Shell we now have Spring Sprint season opener! To ensure a fantastic turnout this event will be open to our Itchenor comrades also. Expect around 20 boats racing on short windward leeward courses lasting 15-20 minutes.

Itchenor Sprints Monday 27th May
