HOSTELLERS SAILING CLUB

Day sailing and dinghy cruising during the summer and country walking during the winter. Suits all ages and all levels of sailing experience including complete beginners. The club moorings are at Paglesham on the Roach estuary in Essex. Most members live in Essex/ London/ Southeast England.

No need to own a boat

The club has its own Wayfarer sailing dinghies for the use of all full members. Members do not need to own their own boats, although boat owning members are equally welcome. This makes the HSC ideal for those who would like to try sailing with minimum outlay. We have a number of experienced members who will explain all you need to know to get started
