Chichester Yacht Club would like to welcome dinghy racers to its Frozen Toe Winter series. The Frozen Toe is a handicap race series with Fast, Medium and Slow fleet starts. The series consists of four events in November and December, each day having two races.
Set inside Chichester harbour the racers must be wise to the tide and wind shifts while keeping an eye on the rest of the fleet. The racing is from a committee boat with experienced race officers that know how to set a good course and keep the races flowing.
Chichester Yacht Club has great facilities, large changing rooms with warm showers, a racers tea bar plus a bar and restaurant for competitors to enjoy after racing. The large car park in front of the club provides space for unhitching trailers and preparing boats.
After Christmas the club runs its long standing Snowflake series, if you can't make the frozen toe, we hope you can join us in the snowflake for some of the most competitive handicap fleet racing in the south.
