The 2026 sailing season begins soon!
We are pleased to publish our 2026 sailing schedule and open sessions for booking. Please book early to avoid disappointment!
As with any sailing season for Sail HYSTS we are constrained by tides but, this year, we have identified 20 possible dates. Our hope is that the weather is kind to us and we get to sail on all.
As with all sailing sessions, please bring appropriate clothing (and a change of clothes) for each session. We will supply sailing kit, buoyancy aids and safety hats. We try to get up to 4 hours of time on the water in each session. For some of the earlier high tide days, we will use the available height of water as much as we practically can within our safety margins.
To book a place on a sailing session please complete our online Booking Form. Whether this is your first time or you have sailed with us before, all individual sailors must be members of Sail HYSTS. We require a new Membership Form to be filled each sailing season prior to the member’s first session to ensure we have up to date contact and medical information.
To make filling easier for 2026 we now have a fully online Membership Form.

Peter Bee – Memories from those who knew him
Owen Davies, President, Geoff Lynch, Chairman and friends have written about their memories of Peter Bee and the contribution he made to HYSTS. You can read their thoughts on the About Us page.
You can help with the running costs of Sail HYSTS
Even if we don’t sail it still costs over £7,000 a year to run Sail HYSTS; the majority of our costs are insurance and maintenance of safety boats and equipment. All this money we have to raise ourselves. If you are able to donate directly we would welcome your contribution. However, Sail HYSTS has also signed up to be part of the Havant Borough Community Lottery. A ticket for the Havant Borough Community Lottery costs £1 per week and 50p goes directly to good causes! If you sign up to support Sail HYSTS we get 50p of that £1.
Question: If Sail HYSTS gets 50p per entry, where does the other 50p go?
Answer: 10p is used to support other good causes within Havant Borough, 20p goes to prizes and the remaining 20p is for administration of the lottery and VAT. ….More
