Hayling Island, on the coast of East Hampshire and connected to the mainland by a road bridge, has Portsmouth to its west, Chichester Harbour to the east and the English Channel on it's southern shores.

Hayling's Atlantic 75 and D class lifeboats, are housed at Sandy Point in the new boathouse (seen below) which incorporates a crew training room and small museum which is open to the public every Sunday from 1030 am - the lifeboats are launched down the short wooden slipway.
