Seaview Yacht Club		Seaview Isle of Wight Tel 01983 613268 Fax 01983 565451 e-mail	The Sea View Yacht Club is one of the premier sailing clubs on the Solent. We are on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight, a small island off the coast of central southern England. The Sea View Yacht Club is a little unusual in that we own a fleet of keel boats that are available to charter. As a result we have, in addition to our members, many non-members who come to sail as part of a pre-organised group.
