Emsworth has two sailing clubs, Emsworth
Sailing Club,located at the
seaward end of Bath Road, occupies
what was originally a sea-bathing
establishment, set up around 1800.
During the Victorian era sailing was
adopted at the site, which led to
Emsworth Sailing Club in its present
form being founded in 1919 by a
small group of enthusiasts. This
makes ESC one of the oldest
water-based activity clubs in the
country. Emsworth
Slipper Sailing Club, founded in
1921, is located in the old Quay
Mill at the end of South Street. The
Quay Mill was sold by Dittman &
Malpas to the Club who refitted it
as their permanent club house and
opened in Easter 1978.ESSC Radio Sailing has a full racing programme as well as regular coaching training sessions. The boat of choice is the International One Metre, which is exciting and challenging to sail while still being suitable for novices.
