StoryStokes Bay SC keeps the Solent busy: year-round racing and open meetings
Stokes Bay Sailing Club sits on the pebbles at Stokes Bay in Gosport with straight-out access to the Solent, a launch that puts sailors straight into open-water conditions. [2]The race programme is the club’s heartbeat: two back‑to‑back Sunday races year‑round, typically from around 11:00, and a Wednesday evening series from April through September. Social and adult sailing sessions round out the calendar. [1]Alongside the dinghy fleets, the bay regularly hosts kayak and paddleboard activity, and the club stages open meetings and event weekends that bring visiting sailors to the shore. [1]On shore, visitor guides highlight an on‑site galley/cafe and a bar at the waterside clubhouse — an easy stop before or after a session. [4]The club operates as Stokes Bay Sailing Club Limited (company no. 14367381). [3] The community’s touchpoints stretch from its Gosport‑based Facebook presence to Barts Bash at the bay. [5][6]
