All boats must display a current Chichester Harbour Plaque. Boats not displaying such a plaque will be scored DNC.

Visiting boats dispensation: DQSC will use a ‘Collect and Forward’ system and therefore visiting boats will use the ‘non-display mechanism’ for Open meeting events. The cost of visitor harbour dues is £3.50 for up to 2 days. This is payable on entering the event in addition to the entry fee. So this covers you for the whole meeting.
