The Club

The club is a relaxed, friendly and inclusive sailing club. A happy place for all to enjoy in the sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour. Perfect for learning to sail, refreshing rusty skills, and also still enjoyable for the more experienced user of the water.

In a picturesque location

The club itself is in one of the most picturesque locations to be found in Chichester harbour. The harbour’s 22 square miles of water offers a variety of destinations and of course easy access to the Solent and the English Channel with all their possible cruising destinations.

Dinghy racing at Dell Quay

Sailing events run all year round with racing for adults and juniors, a junior training week during the summer holidays, the very active Women on the Water (WOW) group and dinghy cruising aroun the harbour.

The comprehensive racing programme includes class and handicap series, several open events and the highlight of the season, the annual Dell Quay Sailing Club Regatta.

Model Yachts

There are regular race meetings for two classes of radio controlled yachts – the 8M and Victoria. There are also training events, fun days and handicap races which always finish with tea and cakes.

Rowing at Dell Quay

The club owns a Celtic Longboat which is usable by all members. Rows are organised any day of the week by a large group of active rowers. We participate in harbour rowing get togethers and races organised by us and other clubs. We even pop SeaFox onto the road trailer and partake in races like the Cockleshell Challenge, Round Hayling and others.

But you dont have to be a racer, most days are just a fun row where we may take in an ice cream in Bosham a pint at Itchenor SC or a coffee at Chichester YC

Dell Quay RYA Training Center

A benefit of membership is discounted RYA courses. Training courses are provided on both power and sail to members through the club’s RYA Training Centre.

Comfortable in our environment

The harbour and its environs are designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, where boating activity happily co-exists with internationally important numbers of wild fowl which make their permanent or seasonal home in its diverse habitats.

Caring for our Environment

DQSC is committed to decreasing our impact on the environment, become sustainable and continue down our Pathway to Carbon Zero. We target this through Energy Conservation, Water Conservation, Waste Management, being Single Use Plastic Free, Pollution Prevention, Biosecurity and Habitat and Wildlife Protection.

Social activity on the water

The club runs social sailing & paddle sports on Friday evenings “Feel Good Fridays” through the summer season where tides are suitable, attracting many existing members to just mess about on the water enjoying their sport on a summer’s evening followed by a meal from the Galley.
