Shoreham Sailing Club tries not to over do the rules and regulations as our sport is primarily about having fun. However, being situated within a commercial port makes it imperative, on safety grounds, that a few simple regulations are adhered to and there are a few other 'done things' that ensure everybody can have a fine sail without any hassle.

• Please do not park your car inside the club grounds, as we need all the space we have for boats. There is plenty of parking just outside the club (though the council have put up signs here forbidding overnight camping).
• No Vehicles on the slipway!!
• Please do not wear wet gear in the bar.
• Everyone needs to use the slipway so please try to keep it clear for launching and recovery and remember, Down on the Left, Up on the Right!
• Take note of sailing instructions and briefings, especially when notice is given of ship movements within the harbour. Please take particular note of the harbour regulations which follow.

HARBOUR REGULATIONS

Helms must always give way to power craft in the river and harbour mouth, and harbour regulations must be obeyed. Any person violating these regulations will be disqualified.

The most important restriction concerns movement of boats out of the east and west arms into the harbour entrance.

Signals are made on the middle pier as follows:

• An amber light occulting every 3 seconds on the middle pier control station, forbids entrance to the harbour from the sea.
• A red light occulting every three seconds over the western arm, forbids movement in the western arm (the river).

If moving in the harbour area when the signals are displayed you must get clear of the main channel as soon as possible and keep to the sides.
