23.01.2022 Happy New Year to all from HSC. We had a nice little dinner at the clubrooms last night. What's more everyone chipped in and donated some cash for the Red Cross bushfire appeal. Thanks and well done to all of those there. Here's hoping that this years sees more members racing on Sundays, more members at social events, more members volunteering for committee positions and just more members.... HAPPY NEW YEAR! See more

22.01.2022 Not sure what to do this month. Come down to Hampton Sailing Club and join in on some of the fun social events we have planned this November

21.01.2022 Covid19 doesn’t move, people move it. If people stop moving, the virus stops moving, the virus dies. It’s that simple #Stayhome - It could save lives

21.01.2022 We will be asking sailors to do a sweep of our launching area prior to sailing on Sundays. Every little bit helps.

20.01.2022 Hampton Sailing Club is cancelling the races planned to be held this Sunday, 11th August, due to the following forecast for the bay. SUNDAY 11 AUGUST Winds: Southwesterly 20 to 30 knots. Seas: 1 to 2 metres.... Weather: Cloudy. 95% chance of showers, with possible hail in the morning and afternoon. SUMMARY Min 7 Max 12 Showers. Wind easing. Possible rainfall: 8 to 10 mm Chance of any rain: 95% MELBOURNE AREA Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning. Snow falling above 600 metres. Possible small hail in the morning and afternoon. Winds westerly 20 to 25 km/h turning southwesterly 25 to 40 km/h during the morning then decreasing to 15 to 20 km/h during the evening.

20.01.2022 FOR SALE The Red Rattler This Sabre Dinghy is a class single-handed sailboat that is 12'4" or 3.76 m long. The boat was designed in 1974 by Rex Fettell, who als...o designed the Minnow. The rig is simple and easily handled but still provides exciting performance in a breeze. Being easy to sail and suited to all sailors of varying abilities, it is popular both with learners and the less physically strong sailors who find more powerful boats like the Laser overpowering. In Australia the Sabre is sailed in over 36 clubs in the state of Victoria, where it is one of the most active supporters of Victorian Yachting Council activities. Purchased for $4500. Only used a few times. Would like $2000. Niki Marshall Hoddinott 0431 223 424

19.01.2022 Well doesn't time fly by. It has been 4 years since we built the square top sail and took the sail to the first Sabre meeting available to have it approved for... testing. A lot of water has passed under many Sabres since then, with 125 sails now sailing Australia wide and sail 126 ordered today. It still makes me smile everytime I get a gust and the little boat pops on a plane. I am sure all those that have tried the sail would agree that it is the best upgrade you can do to your little boat. Happy 4th Birthday Shark! See more

19.01.2022 If you are coming down to HSC for a casual flip around, give another of our members a shout and see if they'd like to join you. But remember the current 1.5 metre rule and the wearing of a face mask on land. Arrive at the club boat ready as the change rooms and showers are still off limits.

19.01.2022 Hampton Pier was closed to the public in June due to its ageing structure and lack of ongoing maintenance. A number of local residents and community members participated in a protest on the 17th of June to raise awareness of the issue and how it affects the broader community. An ongoing effort is being made to bring much needed support and funding for the repair and ongoing maintenance of Hampton Pier. If you would like to show your support you can fill out the following petition https://forms.gle/B5ytfNZu5cgMEeuW7

18.01.2022 Has anyone in the SE suburbs of Melbourne ie: Bentleigh , Moorabbin, Highett etc. got a spare garage or know of one. I need a winter retreat for my Mirror and Sabre . Both need a little TLC and new paint. Message me if you can help.

18.01.2022 Photos for the Winter Warriors are now up on the website, follow the link below to check them out. https://hamptonsailingclub.org.au//winter-warriors-24-augu

18.01.2022 Photos taken last Sunday of the joint HSC and SYC racing on Port Phillip Bay hosted by @hamptonsailingclubaus . Fantastic to see so many boats out on the water enjoying the conditions. Special mention to those who came from other clubs to participate. More photos on our website. @ Hampton Sailing Club

18.01.2022 To Hampton Sailing Club members Opening Day for the 2018/2019 season is on this Sunday, 7 October starting with the first of the Club Championship events. By popular request, the first race will also be the Commodore’s Cup race. Personal handicaps will be applied to this race to find out who gets the silver mug this year. Weather conditions at this stage look great a warm, sunny day with light winds in the afternoon from the south to south-east. So come on down to the Club and ease yourself into the new racing season. Remember, race briefing is at 12:45 PM with the first race scheduled for a 2:00 PM start. Food will be provided when competitors are ashore.

18.01.2022 In two weeks time, 25th August, Hampton Sailing Club is holding its annual Winter Warriors. The culmination of our winter series. Everyone welcome to come down and have some hot soup and bread before the races. See you there rain, hail or shine

18.01.2022 After a dead calm for an hour from 1pm, HSC finally kicked of its winter series with 6 competitors and two races. Gloriously clear day out on the bay. Hope to see you all again on the 11th August. #wintersailing #dinghysailing #sundaysailing #dinghyracing #portphillipbay #melbourne @ Hampton Sailing Club

17.01.2022 A number of our members are competing in this event, check out the results to keep track of their progress over the next few days. http://sailingresults.net/

17.01.2022 Our friends at East Fremantle are sending me a mini Shark sail so I can construct this training aid for our sailors. Thanks East Fremantle!

17.01.2022 Our last autumn day gave us an opportunity for a social sail. While the clubrooms are still closed the water beckons on a good day. There is no reason to go upstairs while we are still locked down. You still have access to the storage area and toilets and of course your craft and the water. Just remember to sign on and off in the intentions book at the foot of the stairs. John Maddick and myself enjoyed a beautiful couple of hours on the water. The northerly was fairly consistent and the +- 1 metre chop provided a few exciting moments.

17.01.2022 This Sunday HSC is running it aggregate series. This will be the last race till March as we are supporting the World Standard and Radial Championships on the 16th and 23rd Feb. Look forward to seeing you down at the Club.

15.01.2022 Ok so we're all hoping to get back on the water,I know l am! Remember that you can come to HSC if it is in your 25km zone only. The upstairs part of the club is still OUT OF BOUNDS! You can only access the mast and sail storage areas and the toilets. NO SHOWERS PLEASE. Maintain social distancing and wear a mask whilst on land. Come to the club ready to sail and don't forget to fill in the intentions book at the foot of the stairs for your own safety. Remember to sail safe, p...referably with another sailor, (separate boats for non family members). To all club members let's keep safe and COVID free. While you're out on the water have a serious think about what more you can do for your club. We need more committee members, it;s not hard, so stay tuned and stay safe. Jim Roberts See more

15.01.2022 A reminder to all club members. HSC is run by a volunteer committee, usually the same 5 or 6 members take these positions. However we need new committee members to inject ideas and expertise to make Hampton Sailing Club the biggest little club on the bay. It's not too much of a chore and the rewards can be great. So to all members please consider putting back some time to our club.

12.01.2022 To Hampton Sailing Club members A few of our members are planning to organise some short races next Sunday, 13 December to ease members back onto the water for the first time this summer. The last few Sundays have been un-sailable due to strong winds and next Sunday's weather forecast is borderline at the moment. Look out for a further email on Saturday if we have to cancel the event.

12.01.2022 Worth a look to all our sailors. We don't mind if you're a little tired when you come down for this weekend's Social Sail.

11.01.2022 Check out the article on the Social Sail held at HSC over the weekend, More photos can be found in the Gallery https://hamptonsailingclub.org.au/1946-2/

10.01.2022 Great see members of the Greatest Little Sailing Club on the bay, getting down and dirty at our end of season working bee. AGM next so what we need now is for members to step up and take some responsibility and pride in HSC and becoming an active committee member. The more we have the easier the job of running HSC will be.

10.01.2022 While Hampton Sailing Club may not be sailing this weekend, there are great opportunities to get some competitive sailing in for the start of the season. Many of our members either volunteer for encouragement or participate, such as the Vinot's pictured below. The forecast is looking promising so if that isn't your speed, come down and get out on the water for a sail over the weekend.

09.01.2022 Huge congratulations to Josh Junior Sailing on winning the 2019 Finn Gold Cup! Full results: http://sailingresults.net/sa/results/overall.aspx?ID=80280.2... Video by Beau Outteridge

08.01.2022 HSC members, your Commodore of Vice accompanied by one of our able bodied and keen sailors attended the opening of Sandringham Yacht Club's 2019/20 season. A lovely day was had by all, wined and fed( if that's ya thing). Ingrid Vinot and I boarded the Kingfisher2 and motored out to watch SYC's sailors sail past and give 3 rousing cheers to their Commodore. The weather was a little better than our season opening but beggars can't be choosers. It was a little hard to restrain Ingrid as we motored back to the dock as she was jumping out of her skin to get out on the water in her Aero. That's the kind of keen and enthusiastic sailors we need at HSC. Here's hoping for a great season's sailing.

07.01.2022 Winter maybe be here but the sailors don't rest. Don't get cold feet but do take advantage of the good weather to get out on the water. Great morning out on the Bay 10-12 knots perfect sailing conditions. #wintersailing #sabre #rsaero5 #coldmorning #steadybreeze @hamptonsailingclubaus

06.01.2022 Perfect day for sailing. Come down and get out on the bay.

06.01.2022 Here's what's coming up in February

05.01.2022 No racing Yesterday, three races today.

05.01.2022 We have an action packed month of sailing this November. After a slow start to the the season in October, we are looking forward to some more stable weather this month.

05.01.2022 Saturday 16th May. A bright sunny day with a enabling northerly got a lot of sailors out on PPB. A certain Sabre and Impulse had a healing sail up around Green Point. There were others from HSC out as well. A very enjoyable day.

04.01.2022 So have I got your attention ? Good thought I might. With the easing of restrictions in Victoria we'll soon be able to get back to racing on Sundays. However we need to know from YOU the members exactly what kind of races are interesting and exciting for you. It's all too easy to slip back into the same patterns before we had 8 months to think. Also on the cards are social activities. We've organised a few in the past but to be honest the turn up was pretty poor.... Once again tell us what is a good idea to get everybody involved. Now the hit up. Our committee is shrinking slowly, there are members who have been stalwarts for more than a few years, in fact many years. It's not hard work a few meetings and a bit of effort and bingo! So there you have it, all HSC'ers will get an email soon regarding the opening of the club or you can PM me on good old FACEBOOK. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Jim Roberts Vice Commodore See more

03.01.2022 Such a gorgeous day on the shores of HSC, the yard is filling with boats keen to sail, so come on down and get out on the water for what's looking to be a big fleet for this afternoons races. Briefing at 12:45pm, races start at 2:00pm. Party pies and sausage rolls on after the race

03.01.2022 A Xmas project.

03.01.2022 The Hampton Sailing Club banner gets its moment in the sun around the 39 second mark (top right). Thanks to all the members who volunteered during Sail Melbourne and well done to the members who participated. http://sailingresults.net/?ID=80319

02.01.2022 Unfortunately the weather just wasn't on our side yesterday for the start of the HSC Winter Series 2019. However it was fantastic to see so many of you getting down to see if we would go ahead with the races. Bring on the 14th July!!!

02.01.2022 To Hampton Sailing Club members Next Sunday is scheduled for SYC O-T-B to host the Hampton Sailing Club fleet with racing at their club. Racing starts at 14:00 and they run two races in the afternoon. They usually hold a briefing at 12:30 in the O-T-B clubhouse to explain courses and race management instructions, and for sign on. Currently the weather forecast for Sunday is looking very good for racing; fine with a 10-15 knots southerly sea breeze.

02.01.2022 Well the pandemic is NOT OVER YET! But according to what has been announced, outdoor non contact sport for adults will be allowed. The season's racing will be organised as soon as we can get together. The clubrooms for the moment will remain closed except for toilets and storage areas. SO DON'T GO UPSTAIRS! More news asap.

02.01.2022 Another exceptional Christmas Dinner at the HSC "Heritage" dining hall. Thanks to everyone who helped and a big one for Ollie and his "jokes"!

01.01.2022 Jake and Millie Gunther representing HSC at Sail Melbourne. Also competing in the Tasar's are Blase and Ingrid Vinot.

01.01.2022 Due to the STRONG WINDS forecast for the Port Phillip Bay this weekend, including Sunday, HSC is cancelling all winter races for the 14th of July.
