Excitement is at Feva pitch for young Itchenor, Bosham and Hayling sailors

Thirty-four keen junior sailors launched from three clubs in Chichester Harbour to rendezvous on the water for the first racing event of the Feva Winter Harbour Series.

The Series is a collaborative effort, with Itchenor, Bosham and Hayling Island Sailing clubs alternating as hosts, and offers young Feva sailors from all Chichester Harbour sailing clubs the opportunity to compete in two-day, meet-on-the-water racing events during the winter months.

The wind was brisk, the racing was wet, competitive, safe and fun for both the cadet sailors and the parent helpers manning the safety patrol boats. The teamwork and skill demonstrated by both sailors and the organising clubs was inspiring.

The two-day racing event was comprehensively won by Mark Jenkins-Jauma (helm) and Alex Sydenham (crew) from Hayling Island Sailing Club. The next races of the series are in December. See pictures from the event on this page and the ones linked, taken by Chris Hatton.
