Sailing at ECA
ECA has a very active mixed fleet of cruisers that regularly race on handicap on Wednesday evenings for the 16 weeks of the spring /summer season. Additionally, we run a Winter Series and, whenever possible, supplemental races on Bank Holidays etc
For a full list of scheduled race dates for 2023 season see below.
For the current 21/22 Course Sheet (PDF) click here.
Entry is open to all yachts and multihulls and we particularly welcome entries from other local clubs and Southsea Marina. Please contact ECA office for details.
The sailing section meets regularly in our well-appointed clubhouse that enjoys fabulous views across Langstone Harbour. There is no better view in Portsmouth from which to enjoy a subsidised beer on our balcony.
We hold our section AGM and Prizegiving evening in April.
