The Itchenor Sailing Club Swallow Fleet held a very successful guest day last Sunday with fourteen guests joining the regular fleet to enjoy a taster of fast keelboat racing in champagne sailing conditions on Chichester Harbour.
The sun was out, the temperature warm and the wind was in no short supply. Gusts of up to 27 knots were recorded on the Cambermet weather beacon whilst racing was taking place in the morning. Sailing was followed by a lunch and prize-giving at the clubhouse.
The guests were all experienced dinghy sailors looking to make the move to close racing in fast keelboats and conditions could not have been better.
If you would like to be part of this for next year the fleet has boats available for sale and charter plus opportunities to crew. Contact Christine Graves on for more information.
