Duties on the Water Volunteers Needed!

Spending time on the water is a fantastic way to enjoy the stunning scenery of Langstone and Chichester Harbours, and we're still looking for volunteers to help with on-the-water duties this season.

We especially need:

• Race Officers No experience? No problem! Full training is available.
• Safety Boat Drivers Must have RYA Powerboat Level 2 or significant powerboat experience, and have completed a RIB familiarisation session with our Bosun.

If you can help now or in the future, please get in touch at sailingsec@langstonesc.org.uk Your club needs you!

Support Needed for Chichester Harbour Race Week

We're aiming to send our launch boat 'Sinbad' to support Chichester Harbour Race Week (1115 August), based at Hayling Island Sailing Club. This is a flagship racing event, and we need volunteers to crew Sinbad for one or more days.

If you can help, please email: sailingsec@langstonesc.org.uk
