While Weymouth is the official sailing venue for the London 2012 Olympics, it is Hayling Island that many sailors have chosen as their secondary training venue.

Hayling Island regularly receives excellent sailing conditions and, as an island, it is surrounded by stretches of water that can used for training.

HISC (Hayling Island sailing Club) is the natural base for many athletes due to the outstanding facilities that the club offers. However on any day other than open days you have to be a member to gain access to the club.

HISC isn’t Hayling Island’s only great sailing venue – there are a vast array of other marinas, sailing clubs and boat yards too. Northney Marina, Mengham/Rythe, Sparkes Marina and Hayling Ferry Sailing Club are all based on the island. It is best to check the launch, landing and mooring fees applicable from each by giving them a call.

Beginners will need to undertake a sailing course; setting sail without any previous tuition or safety cover could prove extremely dangerous. Many of the local sailing clubs offer Royal Yachting Association (RYA) tuition to equip sailors with the skills they need.

Setting sail from Hayling

If you own a yacht then you will be well served, as Hayling offers a fantastic sheltered anchorage as a safe haven from westerly storms.  For those needing to undertake maintenance, there are plenty of companies based on the Island willing to offer their services.

Hayling Island is a gateway to the rest of the south coast, the Isle of Wight and Europe. Many choose the island as their yacht base and garner all supplies and provisions before setting off on the journey.

A good sailing business infrastructure is available on the island and servicing the sailing fraternity has been a local industry for many years.

Sailing Key Facts

• Hayling offers both the casual dinghy sailor and professional the opportunity to launch, land and moor
• It is worth checking what fees each venue charges before heading to the island
• Hayling Island is extremely tidal so understanding tides and having access to a tide table is key to making you time on the water enjoyable. Any local sailing club, marina or chandlery will be happy to advise with regard to tide times. Beginners should undertake a sailing course, available at many of the sailing clubs, to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills before taking to the water.

The best yacht clubs in moscow and premium new buildings next to them.

The moorings within the Moscow Ring Road allow regular sailing even for those who, due to high employment, cannot often travel out of town

Passenger river transportation is being actively revived in Moscow. Already in June, for the first time in 17 years, the authorities promise to launch river buses. Maybe that's why the idea of ​​owning a yacht is increasingly coming up among wealthy Muscovites, and there are more and more yachtsmen who would like to live close to the place of attraction of like-minded people. Next to the yacht clubs there are 21 projects in the primary market of Moscow. More than half of these projects are premium. The experts of the Elitnoye.ru portal, using the data of the Metrium company, decided to talk about the leading metropolitan centers of yachting and tourism, as well as about the premium-class complexes adjacent to them.

Dream Island Marina on the Nagatinsky Peninsula

Dream Island Marina is located on the Nagatinsky Peninsula, in the harbor of the Northern Landscape Park of the Dream Island entertainment center. This is the only modern yacht club (opened in 2021) in the central part of the capital's water area. Moreover, its port stands at the source of a large-scale deep-sea system of the European part of Russia, which unites the whole country. The club has two berths with a capacity of up to 40 seats. The water area is designed for boats and yachts of any size. There is a school of navigators, which teaches how to operate a small vessel. You can rent catamarans, boats and yachts. A restaurant with a grill area is open. Nearby is Dream Island Wake Park, where you can go water skiing and wake surfing.

The closest new building to Dream Island Marina is the Dream Towers residential complex (pictured). Apartments in the project cost 484.2 thousand rubles on average per sq. m. meter. The houses are planned to be put into operation in the next month.

Moscow Imperial River Yacht Club on Balchug Island

The Moscow Imperial River Yacht Club is located in the center, next to the monument to Peter the Great on Balchug Island. The founders of the yacht club restored an old building on the banks of the Moscow River. Today it hosts social events. The development of the club mainly depends on the implementation of the new quarter “Red October”, adjacent to the water. The developer of the project – Guta Development – is going to restore the berths for ships and river taxis.

Not far from the yacht club, sales are carried out in four projects: Residences Zamoskvorechye, Sky House, Golutvinsky, 10 and Vernissage. In “Residences Zamoskvorechye” “square” will cost an average of 517.1 thousand rubles, in Sky House – 401.5 thousand rubles. Both complexes have already been put into operation. In “Golutvinsky, 10” the average price per square meter. meters is 1.3 million rubles. Keys have to wait until the end of the year. In Vernissage, a “square” costs 634.2 thousand rubles. The house will be completed in the second quarter of 2024.

Berth of the Moscow City business center

The pier is located on the territory of the Moscow City business center, which and gave it a name. Charter and pleasure flights depart from the Moscow-City pier. Here you can rent cruise and pleasure yachts even for a few days.

The Oko and Neva Towers skyscrapers are being built in the business center itself. Both are ready. In the first quarter a meter will cost an average of 679.3 thousand rubles, in the second – 660.3 thousand. Also, the Onest quarter is being built nearby, where prices are higher: an average of 724.9 rubles. However, delivery is scheduled only for the second quarter of 2025.

Estate Park on Serebryany Bor Island

Manor Park is the largest yacht club on Serebryany Bor Island. The yacht port has a berth designed for 36 vessels up to 15 meters long. Rowing boat rental, boating and jet skiing, on the “banana” are available. The pier is combined with the Manor restaurant.

The nearest complexes are Capital Coast and Wellton Spa Residence. In the already finished project “Coast of the Capital” sq. meter is estimated by the developer at an average of 767.6 thousand rubles. In Wellton Spa Residence, the average “square” costs 481 thousand rubles. The project is going to go live in about a month.

Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla near Ukraine Hotel

The Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla is a transport company, and its largest berth is located on the embankment near the Ukraine Hotel. River trams, yachts and motor ships constantly start from here. You can rent the ships of the flotilla, but you won’t be able to rent a place for your own yacht on this pier.

Less than a kilometer from the base of the Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla, the Badaevsky complex is being built. You can buy an apartment here for an average of 1 million rubles per sq. meter. The project will be commissioned at the end of 2025.

A yacht club is a sports club specifically related to yachting. Yacht Clubs are mostly located by the sea, although there are some that have been established at a lake or riverside locations. Yacht or sailing clubs have either a marina or a delimited section of the beach or shoreline with buoys marking the areas off-limits for swimmers as well as safe offshore anchorages. On shore they also include a perimeter reserved for the exclusive use of the members of the club as well as a clubhouse with attached bar, café or restaurant where members socialize in a pleasant and informal setting.

Although the terms Yacht Club and Sailing Club tend to be synonymous, some general differences regarding the recreational use of boats can be broadly outlined. Historically a Yacht Club tended to focus on a membership composed of yacht owners, including motorboats. This type of club often was extremely exclusive, attracting the aristocracy or the high class and leaving small boat owners out of the circle. On the other hand, a Sailing Club tended to focus on a membership composed exclusively of owners of sailboats, including smaller boats such as dinghies. These became very popular towards the end of the 19th century when small boats began to be produced on an industrial scale. Now days, many Yacht Clubs offer the same sailing opportunities to their members as Sailing clubs.

Yacht clubs are often known by their initials (e.g. New York Yacht Club abbreviated as NYYC and Kamini Yacht Club abbreviated as KYC). Many well known yacht clubs, including the Yacht Club de France and the Royal Yacht Squadron, have been established under royal patronage or have been granted the title at some point in their history.

Organized and run by the membership, Yacht Clubs became a place to promote the sport of sailboat racing and cruising, as well as provide a meeting place for the particular social community. The membership is a mixture of people with specific recreational affinities. Generally, the members include those who sail as crew for cruising or racing, as well as boat owners. Also it is up to the members to decide on the objectives of the club to satisfy the membership and to attract other like-minded individuals. For example, some clubs include owners of powerboats, while others specifically exclude them. In order to overcome difficulties concerning the affinities of their members one particular club may have two sections, a sailing section and a powerboat section.

Members Clubs often have paid staff for catering, bar duty, boat yard duty, accounts, office etc. Control and organization of the club is done for the membership via members elected by the membership into roles such as Sailing Secretary, Commodore, Cruising Captain, Racing Captain etc. Smaller clubs typically have a condition of membership which requires active participation of the membership in activities such as maintenance of club facilities and equipment.

Unlike the classical clubs where the membership is the focus, certain clubs are run on a commercial basis. They may be owned by individuals or a company to provide a service and generate a profit. Often they are associated with a particular marina or port. Objectives are usually very similar to members clubs but the social side maybe more dominant.

There is a long historical tradition behind yacht clubs. According to the date of establishment, the Neva Yacht Club, founded in 1718 in Russia, is the oldest yacht club. However, since this Russian Yacht Club was established by a decree of Tsar Peter the Great, it does not fully qualify as a proper club in the modern sense, understood as a voluntary association of members who organize and run the club. Therefore, the Royal Cork Yacht Club founded in Ireland in 1720 is also widely acknowledged as the oldest yacht club in the world, despite having gone through periods of dormancy and undergone name changes in its long history, much in the same manner as the Neva Yacht Club. It was only in 1846 that the first yacht club in Russia to adopt British-style Members Club regulations was established. Using this Western understanding of what a club or society is, the Royal Swedish Yacht Club, KSSS, founded 1830, becomes the oldest European yacht club outside the British Isles, and the fifth oldest in the world.

A number of the world's most renowned Yacht Clubs are located in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Canada, and the United States. The first yacht club in North America was the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, located on the Northwest Arm in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada established in July 1837. The most prestigious of them are organized within the International Council of Yacht Clubs.

The Kieler Yacht-Club in Northern Germany organizes the yearly Kiel Week, the biggest sailing event in the world, that is celebrated since 1882.

Racing and Sailing Activities

Most clubs, regardless of the size of their craft, have a well defined racing program. Clubs may host regattas ranging from informal local events to national championships. Often clubs have a regular weekday evening racing schedule or a weekend racing schedule organized by the membership. Many yacht clubs field teams to compete against other clubs in team racing. There are also some specific boat models and lengths which have their own club. These boat ownership clubs often hold single design races for their members; the Islander 36 association is such a club. With the growth of sailing at secondary schools and universities many yacht clubs host Interscholastic Sailing Association or Intercollegiate Sailing Association regattas. Additionally, a number of yacht clubs enter into agreements with schools to provide dock space and practice facilities for the school teams year-round.

Clubs with active adult sailing programs most often feature junior sailing programs as well. Most often these programs enroll children from ages 8 to 16. Children most often learn to sail in the optimist (dinghy) and then progress to a larger single handed dinghy such as starling or laser dinghy or two handed such as 420 (dinghy). These junior sailing programs often also teach children rowing, kayaking, general seamanship and navigation. Children are also taught how to race competitively from an early age and most clubs host junior sailing regattas each season.

Club Burgee

Members belonging to a yacht club or sailing organization may fly their club's unique flag (usually triangular), called a burgee, both while under way and at anchor (however, not while racing). Traditionally, the burgee was flown from the main masthead, however it may also be flown from a small pole on the bow pulpit, or even the starboard rigging beneath the lowest starboard spreader on a flag halyard. Some traditional clubs have also been granted the right to fly a special yacht ensign at the stern.

At traditional clubs the burgee and the ensign is hoisted at 08:00 each morning and lowered each evening at sunset. This ceremony is called colours. Traditionally, the first time a member of one club visits another, there is an exchange of burgees. Exchanged burgees are often displayed on the premises of clubs, such as at their clubhouse or bar.

Organization

Yacht clubs are organized like any other club or organisation with committees, chairman, directors, etc. Due to the connection with the sea and hence the navy, the various posts use naval terminology. For example, the chairman/CEO is the Commodore. Usually, under the Commodore there are also the Vice Commodore (in charge of land-based activities) and the Rear Commodore (in charge of water-based activities); for clubs in the United States they might in turn be assisted by thePort Captain and the Fleet Captain respectively. In a few clubs in the United Kingdom the Admiral, which is one rank above the Commodore, is the senior officer. Each of these ranks has specific responsibilities to ensure the smooth running of the club.

Reciprocating Clubs

Reciprocal Agreements between clubs allow members of one club to use the facilities of a reciprocating club at no cost or at a nominal fee such as for electricity. This allows club members to cruise to many destinations without incurring the higher cost of marina moorage, etc.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald:  " This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work. "

FROM Huey:  " I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them? "

FROM Dewey:  " Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially. "

FROM Louie:  " I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle. "

FROM Scrooge: " You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug. "

FROM Daisy:  " I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine. "

FROM Scrooge: " After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership . "

FROM Editor:  " For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article.
