About Hayling Island, Great Britain
Wind direction in Hayling Bay in June is typically from the SW. The race area often benefits from a sea breeze effect that typically gives wind strengths 8 – 15 kts, and the direction will track with the sun towards the west during the afternoons.
Historic data on wind strength and direction can be found at www.chimet.co.uk, a weather station located on the West Pole Beacon which sits south of Chichester Harbour Entrance.
HISC benefits from access to two superb sailing areas; the sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour and the open water of Hayling Bay. There is ample space in Hayling Bay to lay courses with no overlap; maximum depths in the course areas are less than 10 metres, and maximum current (HW Springs) in Hayling Bay is less than 1 knot.
For the event our intention will be to use one or more of the open water courses in Hayling Bay shown to the west of the harbour entrance in the chart below. The dates provide the optimum times for sailing to and from the race area, which is normally less than 45 minutes, with the average sailing time about 30 minutes.
There is minimal commercial traffic in and around Chichester Harbour and the race area.
There is a full time catering team cooking fresh meals in the commercial standard kitchen on the first floor.
Restaurant quality meals are eaten in the first floor Dining Room, which has spectacular views over the harbour and the South Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty beyond.
The Dining Room can accommodate formal dinners seating over 200 people.
The Beach Bar on the ground floor serves high energy snack food to sailors in wet clothing.
Sandy Point Chandlery has a permanent presence on site selling general dinghy spares and carrying out sail repairs.
