Racing takes place on Chichester Lake, with the course area located directly in front of the clubhouse. The club's committee boat is operated by experienced race officers who aim to set fair and engaging courses suited to the conditions.
Facilities include a tea bar and a full bar/restaurant, providing refreshments before and after racing. Competitors can enter individual events or the full series. Berthing is available in the club's dinghy park—contact the office for details.
New members joining during the winter months will benefit from a reduced joining fee, which is credited to their membership account and can be used in the bar or restaurant. It's a practical way to get involved in the club and experience winter sailing on the lake.
