Navigate Safely
Some 10,000 boats share the fabulous recreational facilities of Chichester Harbour. At peak times the harbour can be congested and this can cause problems. However, the Conservancy believe that with a little thought and understanding everyone can enjoy the harbour and problems can be prevented.
Starting in 2004, the Conservancy launched a Harmony campaign in line with its policy to achieve harmony by promoting courtesy, good manners and behavious, rather than through heavy handed policing and legislation.
To this end a series of booklets have been published that we strongly encourage you to download and read. These are pdf documents and many take a few minutes to download. Hard copes are available from the Harbour Office.
