The Itchenor Burgee – Chichester harbour 6/7th July
July 6 @ 8:00 am - July 7 @ 5:00 pm
With names like Charles Currey, Stewart Morris, Mark Rushall and many other older Firefliers on this bandstand design trophy, who wouldn’t want to have a crack at winning it? Even Guy claims he’s got his name on it a couple of times. Check that out! Last year’s winners were Nigel Wakefield and Emily Sanderson.
The event follows the form of shorter races on the Saturday with the main longer races for the Burgee on the Sunday. The Club offers a very decent evening meal and runs a well stocked bar.
Itchenor SC hosts this event, and after a few years of absence it was great to return here in 2023. Being upstream from the Chichester harbour entrance, it’s tidal and provides plenty of sea room to enjoy. The club still has very fond memories of the Firefly and hold the annual Schools Championships in our class. With campsites nearby in the Witterings, some bunk rooms in the clubhouse and being near the A27 let’s get an even larger turnout this year. Its fantastic estuary sailing and a beauty of a club venue!
