Every year the RYA collate data from all round the country in an annual club membership census.
The results from RYA South of the 11 clubs here in Chichester Harbour show a positive picture. Our clubs have a strong diverse mix between female and male membership with an average across the harbour of 44% to 56% female / male split, compared to only an average of 36% female membership across the rest of England.
Similarly, we have a healthy balance between junior and adult memberships with our clubs having an average of 22.5% youth members to 77.5% adults which compares again favourably the country average of just 15%
We cannot be complacent, however, as membership of harbour clubs has fallen from 14,400 in 2022 to 13,800 in 2023. The Federation is committed to promoting boating here in the harbour and with our various initiatives aim to expand use of our wonderful amenity.
