West Wittering Sailing Club is a Chichester Harbour club at Snowhill Creek, with member-only weekend dinghy racing, cruising, adult social sailing and training, junior sailing, and storage for dinghies, tenders and kayaks. All club sailing is available only to members. Because of a condition in the club's lease, it can accept membership applications only from people with a residential address within the West Wittering civil parish boundary. This is a geographical residency rule, not a religious requirement. The address must be used primarily as a home by the applicant and their family. There is no public taster or non-member try-sailing route.

Membership
Membership is limited to people with a residential address within the West Wittering civil parish boundary. This is a geographical residency rule, not a religious requirement. The club says the restriction is a condition of its lease, and the address must be used primarily as a home by the applicant and their family. All club sailing is member-only, so the club is not open for casual or non-member sailing. Check the official membership page for current categories, fees and eligibility.
