Welcome

to our Harbour

Chichester Harbour Federation is one the oldest of the harbour wide organisations, formed in 1924 when the the harbour had only four clubs sailing and it became apparent that there was a need for regulation to avoid disputes.

For nearly 100 years on we now represent 13 active sailing clubs and the harbour is recognised  as the busiest for dinghy and keelboat racing in the UK and possibly even the busiest in the world. These days, as well as representing all the harbour sailing clubs, The Federation now represents a total of 39 Organisations, including Harbour Associations, Boatyards, Marinas & Sailing Schools.

The number of boats entering for the Federation’s Chichester Harbour Race Week makes it consistently the largest open dinghy race week in the UK.
