The following clubs have been invited to join our Mini Regatta at Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club. This Regatta is for Celtic Longboats only. As our club is not yet one year old, we are just inviting those clubs at the Hampshire side of Chichester Harbour. ie. LCRC, CRAC, ESC . This event will be very much a trial event to see that we can plan a regatta correctly before we hold our open Celtic Winter Series Regatta within the 3 Harbours community of 1st March 2025
The timing of the regatta on Saturday 5th October is as below. We propose CRAC and LCRC road trailer their boats to ESSC, we will reserve space in the Club Car Park on the Quay for trailers to be stored. We assume ESC will be rowing their craft round.
There will be
• Open Race - anyone
• Women’s Race – 4 women
• Mixed Race – at least 2 women
Each race will be approximately 2miles overall including at least one buoy turn. However, weather conditions may cause this to change on the day.
On registration on the day, we will ask for ages of all rowers to feed into the Ouse Yardstick data. The entry fee (rower or cox) is £5.00. Please pay this prior to the event by registering at the following link, (you will need to set up a userid and password to do this. )

Please bring two VHF radios with you and tune to channel 08 (The sailors will be using channel P4).
Reason for two radios
• One for cox of boat
• One for Rowing Captain to ensure crews are on pontoon or at start as race control will give orders via VHF.
A decision, based on forecasted wind speeds will determine if the event is not going ahead. The ESSC rowing captain will email other club rowing captains on Friday evening if the event is to be cancelled .
Schedule for Day will be:-
• 11:00 LCRC and CRAC arrive by road and launch boats at bottom of South Street, place road trailers in Club Car Park and row boats to conservancy pontoon and tie up all boats. ESC, please row round and tie up on conservancy pontoon.
