Emsworth Slipper
Located on the Quay in Emsworth is a warm and friendly sailing club. It has very active dinghy and cruising sections both for racing and social activities, as a RYA training establishment it is very keen on developing juniors and youth sailing. The club also hosts a very active radio sailing section on the adjacent millpond. The Club has just started a very popular rowing section using our Celtic Longboat .The clubhouse itself has some of the best views across the harbour.
Through our Safeguarding Policy, we are committed to providing a safe environment for all club members, youths and juniors to enjoy the water activities we facilitate.

Besides allowing separate control of the Bar and Function Room, this more efficient system will reduce our gas usage and CO2 footprint. Although access will be feasible, members are advised to use common sense safety precautions to keep clear of the work and stored materials. Events in the Function Room and Bar should not be planned during this period. More »
