Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club is on the eastern side of the millpond at Quay Mill at the bottom of South Street. A club with a strong family tradition, there are approximately 750 adult members and some 200 juniors.  Formed in 1921, ESSC is very much a "members club" relying on volunteers to lead and support all the activities, both on and off the water and the majority of the members live in Emsworth or nearby. The object of the club is to encourage amateur sailing and boating and to provide and maintain a clubhouse and social facilities.
