If the website editor cannot answer your enquiry he will forward it to an appropriate person.

If you wish to contact the HSC by telephone, or if email contact should fail, here are a couple of phone numbers to try:

Josephine - 01752 863730 (Secretary)

Geoff - 01442 872956 (Committee member)

Please note that the HSC does not have premises and does not have a postal address. For delivery of goods or payment by cheque, please make contact by email or telephone first.




Some other useful numbers:

Note - these telephone numbers are local services that may be of use to HSC members and others sailing in our area - they are not telephone numbers by which you can contact our club! If you would like to contact the HSC itself please see details above.


Havengore Bridge:
The number to ring for the bridge operator at Havengore bridge is 01702 383436. I believe this number may only be available when the bridge is actually in use which is normally within 2 hours either side of high water. At times other than weekends it may open by prior permission. For further information on the Havengore route try this web page:

Note that you don't necessarily need to go through Potton Bridge to use the Havengore route between the Roach and the sea but you do need to go through Potton Bridge (and not Havengore) if you want to circumnavigate Potton Island in a boat with fixed mast. A wayfarer with lowered mast will easily pass under Potton Bridge even when it is in the 'closed' state but it is questionable whether it could pass under Havengore bridge when this is closed. Maybe with careful timing it would be possible for a small boat with minimal 'air draft' to squeeze under the bridge then cross the shallows on the other side but I am not sure about this, never having tried it.
