About RHSC

About

Rye Harbour Sailing Club is situated on the River Rother close to Rye Bay where excellent sailing is enjoyed all year round. We have active dinghy and cruising divisions and year round events both sailing and social.

The club prides itself in the diversity of its members’ sailing interests and in the variety of yacht and dinghy classes that are enjoyed. Some members undertake substantial annual passages whilst others are happy to mess around on the river!

We have an active racing program for cruisers in the spring to autumn and for dinghies year round. Our position on the River Rother enables us to have dinghy races in the river or out in Rye Bay, depending on the weather conditions.

The Club has dual parentage, The Rye Bay Yacht Club which was founded in 1925 and The Rye Harbour Sailing Club which was founded in 1934. The two amalgamated to form the present Rye Harbour Sailing Club (RHSC).
