2026 Race Season
Our first race of the 2026 season will be a bay race on the 19th April, preceded by a fitting out supper at HISC on the 18th.
A few reminders how to get involved:
Members:
> You only need to check the Sailing Instructions, and turn up at the start line before the 5 minute warning signal.
> If you need help finding crew, or just want some new faces on board, remember the club crew list is on the website.
Non-members:
> Joining the club is super easy, and we are without a doubt the best value for money sailing club on the South Coast
> You can either contact us through this website, our Facebook page, or our Instagram account, and someone will be in touch to help you.
> Skippers/boat owners - your first race is completely free of charge if you just want to try us out. We only ask that you get in touch and let someone know you are coming.
> Crew - you don't need to own a yacht to join the club, we can add your details to our crew list, and work with you to help get you connected with skippers who have crew spaces available.
Chichester Cruiser Racing Club
Chichester Cruiser Racing Club (CCRC) provides easy access to our yacht club race events, rallies and sociable get-togethers whether you have raced a yacht before or not.
And joining CCRC is easy and costs less than you might think. You could also race free as a guest yacht or simply join us to crew.
CCRC is a “virtual yacht club” so we have no club-house; instead we work with other yacht clubs in Chichester Harbour and use the facilities of yacht clubs across the Solent and beyond. And you don’t need to have your yacht based in Chichester Harbour.
A typical Chichester Cruiser Racing Club weekend might involve racing on Saturday, arrival at a pre-booked marina, a social drinks party, dinner at a local yacht club and then a race back on the Sunday. But everything is optional: some might not race but simply cruise, and others might make their own dinner arrangements.
