Civil Service Sailing Centre, Weevil Lane, Gosport, PO12 1AZ

Portsmouth Offshore Group (POG) is a club with a self-help ethos based in Gosport whose aims include the promotion of sailing and boating to its members. Maintenance and improvement of the clubs facilities both shore and marine are undertaken by members on a voluntary basis. As a result our mooring fees are much lower than commercial rates.  We are part of the Civil Service Sailing Association (CSSA) which is, in turn, a part of the Civil Service Sports Council (CSSC). We have a  full calendar of sailing, training and social events and welcome new membership.

We have a total of 246 moorings in Portsmouth Harbour.  We occasionally have spare moorings on the 44 midstream pontoon moorings at Wicor Reach or the 27 swinging moorings at Burrow Island. By joining the club you may be able to take up one of these (depending on your boat) and in time improve your mooring when granted one of our other 6 midstream moorings at Haslar Creek or the 175 walk ashore pontoons moorings in Weevil Lake.
