CCRC is affiliated to the RYA, so all races are in accordance
with the Racing Rules of Sailing. Compliance with ORC category
4 (3 for cross-Channel races) is recommended.
We offer a choice of classes to encompass all sizes, types
and performances, and to provide fair, fun and keen racing.
Many members race short handed in everyday cruising boats,
so hi-tech sails and a crew of gorillas are not essential.

Most weekends there is racing on both Saturday and Sunday
with the first start scheduled for late Saturday morning.
Most starts are from a committee boat in the vicinity of Chi
or Bay racing marks positioned just SW and NW respectively
of Chichester Bar beacon.
Round-the-cans races take place in Hayling Bay finishing
back at Chi, with a second race on the Sunday. Passage races
head west via various marks to a Solent destination, with
a return race on the Sunday. A social event, usually at a
local Sailing Club, is arranged for the Saturday evening.
Hayling Bay is excellent for racing - sheltered, with plenty
of racing marks, moderate yet interesting tides, and no shipping.
This makes it popular, but CCRC has the local knowledge!
In May there is an annual race to France followed by a cruise
in company to sample the delights of French cuisine, wine
and harbours.
