The Sailing Clubs of Langstone Harbour have a full programme of events throughout the season. Additionally, Southsea Marina, Portsmouth Outdoor Centre and the Langstone Harbour Water Skier's Association host events during the summer. The Langstone Harbour Board hosts educational events aimed at raising the level of awareness of conservation issues in the harbour. The Board also promotes events in partnership with other conservation bodies such as RSPB and Hampshire Wildlife Trust. The sailing season starts at Easter and continues through to the end of October. Sailing clubs hold summer regattas and the sailing programme includes events for both cruisers and dinghies. Langstone Harbour opens onto the popular waters of the Solent where cruisers from neighbouring harbours, the Isle of Wight and further afield enjoy social and competitive sailing throughout the year. The Harbour is also home to an active fleet of dinghies, small day boats and fishing vessels associated with the clubs around the harbour. A full programme of club races and a number of fishing events take place in the harbour each year. The Portsmouth Outdoor Centre is an educational establishment which runs well-supervised sailing courses for children of all ages. The Centre also hosts RYA short courses for both beginners and experienced sailors. The Board and other environmental groups involved in work around the harbour host indoor and outdoor events which focus on the ecology and wildlife of the harbour and promote broad conservation objectives for the site as a whole. These events include walks, beachcombing and talks on nature conservation subjects. |
