The two club affiliates include Adur Sailing Club, an RYA Training Centre,
and the 35thLancing Sea Scouts. Both are vital contributors to the Club’s
success and also help the club achieve its objects. We continue to support
ASC (a voluntary run club that provides RYA dinghy sailing training) and
the Scouts by offering a reduced rent to both affiliates. In doing so, we
enable better use of club facilities, generate incremental income, support
the provision of a range of healthy, community-based activities and it also
enables us to have regard for our public benefit requirement. During the
year, members of both clubs have sailed together and enable further
scope for working together.
The West Sussex Schools and Youth Sailing Association Regatta was held
in September 2024 at our club and provided a major opportunity to
showcase our support foryouth development in the communityand to

~~3~~

encourage racing by existing youth members from our own club, and also from Adur Sailing Club whose members entered 12 dinghies and 19 participants. Around 100 dinghies and nearly 130 competitors from 10 teams around Sussex participated in the event which was supported by Shoreham Port, the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) – Shoreham, RNLI Shoreham together with two local water sports businesses. Over 12 additional RHIBs and support boats were lent to the club by participating clubs to help manage the event. The use of the NCI watchtower enabled better safety for the event (weather and CCTV systems, additional radio support and visual monitoring of competitors). The launch of the RNLI inshore lifeboat (ILB) as part of a training exercise during WSSYSA was especially welcome. The club has been active throughout the year with its sailing programme combining club racing, open events, training activities and other events. The club arranges regular organised racing on a Sunday and Wednesday evening together with open events – weather permitting. We seek to promote club racing on a Wednesday or Sunday to the ASC and SSC youth, particularly those that participated in WSSYSA. We continue to attract young families and develop the skills of the new members. We seek to support our members undertake rescue boat training, first aid training, and other related skills to ensure the club’s sustainability. One of the investments made by the club was in first aid training where the club part-funded a programme of first aid training for its members. During the course of the year, the club continues to work positively with Shoreham Port to document the erosion at Soldiers Point and also the latent defects associated with the slipway. Remedial works to the revetments bordering the club have been delayed but expected to be undertaken by the Environment Agency in Autumn 2024/ Spring 2025. The legal process to document the new boundary is delayed due to this further work being planned to improve the revetments bordering the club property. The EA have agreed to fund all legals expenses associated with this. Trustees have been reimbursed expenses incurred on behalf of the club.
