Application for reduced Langstone Harbour dues and survey of harbour use
Published 17:55 on 10 Apr 2026
Dear Langstone Sailing Club Member,
As you are hopefully aware craft using Langstone Harbour, the water to the west of the old railway bridge, now have to pay harbour dues to Langstone Harbour Board (see the harbour dues news article on the website that was also emailed to Members).
Langstone Harbour Board has agreed that if Langstone Sailing Club manages the collection of dues from its members we will receive a 50% reduction in the fees paid.
For this process to be manageable for Club Officers we are asking members who wish to take advantage of this reduced rate to complete this Langstone Harbour dues form by FRIDAY 24 APRIL.
Note: owners of cruisers and their tenders do not need to complete this form as it is for all other craft using Langstone Harbour, including dinghies, canoes/kayaks, paddleboards and any other craft you launch from the club.
An invoice will be issued by mid-May and once paid plaques will be requested from Langstone Harbourmaster and once received be available from the bar during opening hours.
The Club will continue to try and negotiate better rates with both Chichester Conservancy and Langstone Harbour Boards over the coming year, but to do so we need an understanding of how the harbours are used so we are also asking members to complete this Harbour use form.
Specific information provided will be treated as confidential and not shared with 3rd parties, though summary statistics may be.
Yours faithfully
