Chichester Yacht Club is pleased to host its first Open Meeting of the Summer season, the Hadron H2 and Europe Open, on Saturday 27th April. This event welcomes sailors from both classes for a day of competitive racing in the sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour.

The event will begin with a briefing at 09:30 in the Sloop, followed by the first race signal at 10:25. The schedule promises an enjoyable day on the water, with multiple races planned, providing excellent opportunities for both experienced competitors and those newer to open meetings.

Last year, we saw a great turnout with ten Hadron H2s and sixteen Europes taking to the water, and we hope to see even more boats participating this time around. Whether you are returning to race again or joining us for the first time, the event offers a great chance to test your skills and enjoy sailing in a friendly and welcoming club environment.

Competitors are encouraged to register in advance by visiting www.cyc.co.uk/event/hadron-and-europe-open

We look forward to welcoming all sailors and hope for a great day of racing. See you on the water!
