Bosham Junior Week is a week long racing and social event that is a MUST if you are 8 to 18 years old. Great, competitive racing coupled with a hectic social programme make this the teenage (and younger!) sailing and social event of the year! Junior Week is our major Cadet event of the year and offers:
- Class racing for 8 cadet classes - Gold & Silver Optimist, Topper (4.2 & 5.3 rigs), Mirror, RS Feva, 420 and Laser Radial/ILCA 6
- Up to 12 races for all fleets over six days in Chichester Harbour
- 'Fun' races in the afternoons
- Action-packed social life for cadets and parents
- Memories that will last a life time
- Take a look at our photo galleries from last year here.
Our sailing base is at Cobnor

The entry requirement for each sailor is to have completed a minimum of four races between 13th August 2022 and 4th June 2023. The only exception is to competitors in their A level year (Year 13) who do not need to do any qualifying races.

The social events are an integral part of Bosham Junior Week. Once announced, all social bookings will need to be pre-booked by 30th July 2023.
To take part, every competitor must supply adults to do a minimum of two land or water based duties.
