Langstone Sailing Club is situated on the north-east corner of Portsea Island, overlooking Langstone Harbour.
Founded in 1948, the club is known for its friendly, volunteer-run ethos and its focus on family sailing. It provides access to the unique environment of Langstone Harbour, which offers a safer and more sheltered alternative to the open Solent. For wingers, it is a fantastic 'flat-water' haven, perfect for practicing freestyle or transitions in a scenic and protected setting. The harbour dries significantly, so timing is key.
