Chichester Harbour: a day on the water and Race Week’s high-tempo finish
Fair-weather tides bring cruisers and dinghies sweeping through the harbour channels, working breeze lines and tide gates across one of the South Coast’s busiest sailing playgrounds [1]. Race Week’s 2016 finale delivered packed start lines, tight mark-roundings and planing runs through the chop—pure regatta rhythm on home waters [2]. From casual training sails to regatta sprints, this stretch of water sets the tone for seasons built around wind, tide and savvy boat-handling [1][2].
