There will be six races over the two days with committee boat starts in Chichester Harbour. There will also be a Concours D’Elegance with Classic Boat Magazine among the judges.

Supper accompanied by live jazz will be available on Friday 24 June, and a regatta party will be held on Saturday 25 June with supper and live music from the Mustangs at the clubhouse. Some free accommodation and berthing is available for visiting crews.
