Cruisers
![](https://hardwaysailingclub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cruiser-Page-montage-300x214-1.jpg)
Hardway Sailing Club has a very active Cruiser racing fleet featuring several series of club races throughout the year, and we successfully compete in the Inter-Club series with other harbour clubs, having won the trophy for several consecutive years. Inter-Club races are held in the harbour and in the Solent,over short and long courses, usually with a social gathering at the venue afterwards.
We also arrange several cruising rallies at Cowes, Bembridge, Lymington, Yarmouth and Island Harbour on the Medina, and in 2020 will be heading to Bucklers Hard and Marchwood SC.
Dinghies
![](https://hardwaysailingclub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/HSC-Dinghy-photo-300x225-2.jpg)
Hardway Sailing Club’s members have been sailing and racing dinghies since its inception in 1945, when both handicap and class racing were encouraged.
We race between the months of April and October and on Boxing Day! During the week and throughout the season we race on Tuesdays from 1900 hours with both Fast & Slow handicaps.
The slipway is ideal for launching and boat recovery at near high water and the new end pontoon with ramp allows launching and recovery at all states of the tide. Safety boats are crewed by trained volunteers.
