The Club

We are incredibly privileged to be located in stunning Chichester Harbour Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. One of the best sailing locations in the whole of the UK. Once described as “the best kept secret in Chichester Harbour” we are a club which welcomes anybody with an interest in enjoying the water.

A beautiful area to sail. Why not join us?

Situated on a tidal creek our facilities and geographical position enable us to provide almost anything a lover of the water could wish for from cruising to model yacht racing, from Swallows and Amazons experience to championship dinghy racing, from gig rowing to paddle boarding and kayaking; ashore there is a modern clubhouse and lots of space for boat storage. Come and join us

Junior Sailing

We aim to develop a passion for dinghy sailing in our youngsters which will lead to a lifelong love of the water.

As an RYA Training Centre we are super focused on introducing the younger generation to sailing. We run an exciting string of RYA training courses and social events every year, as well as an extremely popular Youth Race Week to put their new skills to the test! See them progress into the watersports enthusiasts of the future.

Cruising

The club has a large cruiser fleet of around 100 boats of various sizes, both sailing and motor boats. The club has 85 of its own moorings in the creek beside the club.

The cruiser section organises races and a programme of rallies to destinations in the Solent, the harbour and further afield. One of the most popular rallys ventures to Newport (IOW) usually around the time of the Pop Festival in June – very popular with the younger members too.

Gig Rowing

Whether you have rowed before or are completely new to Gig rowing you are absolutely welcome to join us for our weekly training sessions and have some fun on the water. The more the merrier! Age and ability are definitely no barrier!

Gig rowing & racing is a true team sport where 6 crew & a coxswain work together, pitting their skills and strength against other boats and the elements.

Dragon Force racing

In the past MRSC was used by Saltners and therefore we are lucky enough to have a large yet shallow salt lake within our grounds. This has given us a perfect arena to host remote controlled boating! The most popular type of radio controlled boats with our keen members now include Challenge Power Boats as well as Dragon Force 65 Yachts. DragonForce 65 racing takes place on the Club Pond on every other Sunday. The sessions are arranged so that they don’t conflict with the dinghy racing and everybody is welcome to join in or come and watch.
