The AYC has a fine tradition in cruiser racing, with a dozen or so boats making up the cruiser fleet. The Club has moorings for approximately 100 bilge keelers/lifting keels with all the usual pontoon facilities as well as an excellent bar and galley nearby in the Clubhouse.

The Club hosts a busy calendar of club races with gaps to take in racing events up and down the coast, such as the Escape Race, the Round the Island Race and the Sussex Combined Yacht Clubs Regatta. The Club prides itself on success at such events, which comes from knowledge sharing and team spirit.

This year, club racing will contain mixture of shorter round-the-cans races and longer passage races. Races are keenly contested but there is always advice being offered to new racers and to more experienced racers who may not know the hazards outside Littlehampton.

We welcome racers of all levels and experience, as well as individuals who'd like to get to know racing by volunteering to crew. If you'd like a taste of cruiser racing, AYC is the place for you!
