Chichester Yacht Club is looking forward to welcoming sailors for the Hadron H2 and Phantom class Open Meeting later this month, with two fleets lined up for spring racing on Chichester Harbour.

The Hadron H2s will be racing across Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April, while the Phantoms will join the action on Saturday 18 April. Entry for both events is open now via the club website at www.cyc.co.uk.

Chichester is a popular open meeting venue and offers plenty to make a weekend of it. Competitors can expect a large car park (paid, but with charges capped when validated at the club office), along with a friendly bar, restaurant and lawned gardens looking straight out over the racing area — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water.

The club is looking forward to welcoming both classes and hopes to see a strong turnout for what promises to be an enjoyable and competitive weekend of racing.
