Portsmouth Sailing Club is the home of the successful Parhelion Yacht Series held every spring and autumn which attracts novice and experienced crews alike and has been running since 2002. In addition to the Parhelion, there are well-attended weekend passage cruises to Solent harbours, venues in the South West of England and cross-channel to Northern France. For dinghies, there is the Frostbite series which runs from the beginning of October until Christmas, now running 50 years strong, making it possibly the oldest dinghy winter series in the area. Portsmouth Sailing Club is also involved at a fundamental level in the Portsmouth Harbour dinghy team racing which began in February 2006. Portsmouth SC continues its long affiliation with the historic and competitive Victory Class one-design keelboats, who have been known to compete in the Frostbite.
