Netley Cliff Sailing Club

Netley Cliff Sailing Club (NCSC) is a sailing club on the shores of Southampton Water, UK.

Membership is open to UK civil servants and their families, ex-civil servants and employees of certain UK companies who are eligible to be members of the Civil Service Sports Council (CSSC), and a quota of others via a lodger club (Netley Abbey Sailing Club or NASC).

The club is open year-round but most organised events occur over the summer months, with dinghy racing being a popular and well-supported activity. The club also supports larger vessels up to 30 feet in length, and organises a number of yacht cruises throughout the year.

Boat storage/lay-up is available and a number of moorings are available just off the club. A shingle beach makes dinghy launching and retrieval easy at most points of the tide, and the prevailing wind is generally on-shore making it a relatively safe place to sail.

Club membership ranges from beginner to instructor levels. The club does not provide any formal instruction on-site but is linked with other organisations who are able to provide formal sailing tuition within the local area.
