Exciting New Saltmarsh Restoration Project
Whilst boating in Chichester Harbour you may have noticed diggers and heavy equipement operating on the shore at West Itchenor. This is part of an exciting project by the the Chichester Harbour Conservancy to restore saltmarsh in our harbour which has been contracting due to sea rise and the inability for the plant to retreat inland because of man-made defences. Saltmarsh is important within our coastal ecosystem as it stores carbon, helping to counter climate

A GREAT START TO THE EVENING POINTS SERIES.
The last tide of May saw a fleet of three Lasers a Gull and a Finn butt, in true "Masefieldian" fashion, into an east nor'easterly gusting some 23 knots. Outstanding sailing skills were shown on what was not an evening for the faint hearted, with egress from the creek itself proving a challenge. A robust and gritty performance by all saw four boats finish, some in great style! The low sun, making marks

Successful first cruiser rally!
The first rally of the season last weekend was a resounding success with young and older members attending. The winds and weather were kindly and some good sailing and motorboating were had. Warsash Sailing Club is beautifully situated on the Hamble River and the older participants were heard humming Howard's Way as they navigated their way along the pontoon or to the bar and back. Warsash provided a hospitable welcome and good food so thanks
