The hugely popular family-friendly Chichester Harbour Race Week (aka "Fed Week") has now been running successfully for over 60 years.
With the website now open for entries, you can now reserve your place in this year's 'must attend' event. Starting on Monday 10th August, the five days of racing are hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club, the UK's premier championship venue.
This prestigious five-day event is hugely popular amongst racers across Chichester Harbour and attracts sailors from over 50 clubs across the UK and beyond and often exceeds 500 competitors in 350 boats.
Separate events will be provided for the eighteen fleets, run by four separate race teams. The event includes many parent-child teams and former World and Olympic champions, offering something for all.
After racing there are other events throughout the week to keep families entertained such as the afternoon steel band and bbq, the famous Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club quiz night, gig rowing trials and of course the HISC disco and live band plus hosted evenings at other harbour clubs.
Take advantage of the 'Early Bird' entry (enter by 30th June) which means the five days entry for a two-person youth boat is only £62 and for two adults only £83.
Keeping the event affordable and value for money is key to Race Week's success".
