Chichester Harbour Race Week 2026

 

The hugely popular family-friendly Chichester Harbour Race Week (aka “Fed Week”) has now been running successfully for over 60 years.  

With the website open for entries, you can now reserve your place in this year’s ‘must attend’ event.  Starting on Monday 10th August, the regatta is organised by Chichester Harbour Federation and hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club, the UK’s premier championship venue.




This prestigious five-day event is hugely popular amongst racers across Chichester Harbour and attracts sailors from over 50 clubs throughout the UK and beyond. There are often more than 500 competitors in 350 boats.   

Separate events will be provided for the eighteen fleets, run by four race teams. The regatta includes not only many parent-child teams but also former World and Olympic champions, offering something for everyone.

After racing there are social events throughout the week to keep families entertained - a steel band and afternoon barbecue, the famous Mengeham Rythe Sailing Club quiz night, gig rowing and of course the HISC disco and live band. And there are hosted evenings at other harbour clubs.

Keeping the regatta affordable and value for money is key to Race Week’s success so do take advantage of the Early Bird entry (until 30th June). That means five days of racing for a two-person youth boat is only £62 and for two adults only £83.
