West Wittering Sailing Club was founded in 1950 by residents of West Wittering, near Chichester in West Sussex, England, to cater for the sailing needs of West Wittering villagers. Members sail out of Snowhill Creek, when the tide permits, and organise dinghy races for a wide range of boats. There is an active cruising section and a full programme of fun events both on and off the water which start in early May and continue on through October.
