The Sailing Committee reserves the right to award club handicap numbers to craft not listed in YR2 - RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme, and to amend any values stated therein at their discretion.
The venue and courses may be changed at the discretion of the Race Officer after due notification. If after considering the conditions the Race Officer cancels the race their decision in final.
Those rostered for race duties should get to the club at least I hour before the start time if the race is in Chichester (C) or 1½ hours if the race is in Langstone (L).

The event welcomes dinghy sailors from all across the south coast to compete in the series of exciting races held within the harbour.
Evening social events are held at each club, offering a mixture of entertainment to sailors and their families after the sun has set on the racing activities.
Federation Week
This Regatta is organised by the Chichester Harbour Federation, of which Langstone SC is a member. The regatta takes place during a week in August (Monday-Friday) at Hayling Island SC (HISC). This regatta is one of the largest of its type in the UK and in 2006 there were over 450 competitors. Most mono-hulls are welcome to compete in the regatta either as part of a class race or part of the handicap fleet. Please note that there is a trophy for the Chichester Harbour Federation club with the best results.
In addition to having club members race in this event, we also support the event on and off the water. Langstone SC has a strong tradition of being responsible for producing the race results and providing our Safety and Support boats to be part of the "on the water" support team. Helpers of all levels are required to make this event a safe and fun event for competitors and helpers alike. If you would like to help, please speak to the Sailing Secretary.

Good luck to all Langstone members racing (and helping) at HISC in Fed week this year (Monday 9th to Friday 13th August 2010).
