On June 20th 2026, the Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club (NSSC) are hosting a FREE celebration of all activities on, near, in, and above the water in the Seaford Bay and invite you to join them for a day of fun activities for all, with stalls, taster sessions and live entertainment! All activities will be based on the promenade in front of Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club and the adjacent beach area, starting from 10:00am.

The morning will include Cornish Gig racing and sailboat races with live commentary.

In the afternoon, there will be free ‘have a go’ sessions from the beach with activities such as sailing, paddle-boarding, swimming, windsurfing and board winging, together with further Gig races. There will also be staged rescues by our club rescue ribs and the RNLI Lifeboat.

There will be live musical entertainment from 4:00pm until late.

The Galley Seaford will be open throughout the day and evening for food and refreshments.

The day will embrace all aspects of our sea-based communities, show-casing the range of activities that are happening locally, inviting you to find out more, watch live sporting events on the water, with the opportunity to try some out for yourselves and maybe get involved in something new! Come along and see how vibrant and amazing Seaford Bay is!

* If the weather is poor, the daytime events may have to be cancelled.

Week 3 of cadet Mondays was a cracker! Big winds were forecast but it dropped to a perfect 10 knots for the session. We have been looking to work the boat harder this year and improve the downwind leg. Drills were to introduce the trigger pull racing start and look at downwind stance. With this being our first 2-lap race of the year we had our first leeward mark rounding for real with unconventional lines and position changes. Looking forward to Week 4!

Another great cadet evening at Piddinghoe Lake! Strong winds and cold temperatures to begin with, but once the boats were ready to go things had calmed down to leave a relaxed sunny evening of fun sailing☀️⛵️⛵️⛵️

Brisk winds and reefed sails during yesterday's Sailability afternoon! The sailors were joined by flocks of seagulls, and flights of swallows and house martins.
