Book your place at the biggest dinghy and keelboat regatta in the UK! With the website open, you can now reserve your place in this year's 'must attend' event. Starting on Monday 11th August, the five days of racing are hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club, the UK's premier championship venue.

This event is hugely popular amongst racers across Chichester Harbour and attracting sailors from 59 clubs across the UK and beyond. Last year nearly 600 competitors in 383 boats attended this prestigious five-day event.

Separate events will be provided for the nineteen fleets, run by four separate race teams. There will be something for everyone; from our 'hotshot' youth sailors to former World and Olympic champions. Off the water evening events throughout the week will keep our sailors and their families entertained.

The Sailing Secretary of the Chichester Harbour Federation, Pam Marrs, said, "Taking advantage of the 'Early Bird' entry means the five days entry for a two-person youth boat is only £59 and the same for two adults only £80. Keeping the event affordable and value for money is key to Race Week's success."
