We undertook a trial of the new RYA National Handicap for Cruisers system and will be discussing this over the summer before deciding to incorporate it into our programme for the Autumn Series.

The Portsmouth Sailing Club Spring & Autumn Parhelion Series have become established in the Solent calendar with a core of regular Racers returning each year. We are offering racing in uncongested waters over 5 Spring and 6 Autumn weekends, normally with 2 Races per day.

Whether you have an experienced crew or you are just interested in having a go at yacht racing for the first time, PSC’s Parhelion Spring Series is the ideal event to start your season and the Autumn Series can extend the enjoyment of your season with what is often the best racing conditions of the year. The series offer racing for yachts & crews at all levels of competitiveness & skill including IRC class yachts, Club classes, One Design Fleets & non-rated yachts (we can provide a rating for the series).

Following racing, the Clubhouse will be open for some hard-fought refreshment. Moorings are now available on the PSC pontoon in the Camber Dock. We also offer a RIB ferry service to & from Haslar and Gosport marinas.
