Pagham Yacht Club

Welcome to the Pagham Yacht Club web site.

We are a friendly sports and social members club on the beautiful English south coast.

We sail from March to October, launching off our beach and with mechanical recovery. Formal racing takes place every Sunday morning during the season, usually 2 races as a mixed fleet. In July and August, we sail Wednesday evenings as well. Access to the Clubhouse, with changing and showering facilities, is available daily for full members.

Fishing is a year round sport for us, with competitions from boats and the beach, as well as charter trips for the more adventurous taking members further afield. Members also have available sea kayaks and SUPs, with regular summer evening and weekend activites. Our land activities are based around a low cost bar at the Clubhouse, including members dinners, live music, discos, quizzes and the bingo nights.

Has anyone ever been into Pagham? If so, can you give info on access, holding, rules and regs.  

Basically, I don't think you can. Its closed to vessels, as its a nature reserve.  

Well-known member

Seanick is right, it is a nature reserve so landing is prohibited. They do not want you even to go in up the main channel, but it is questionable whether they have right to prevent you accessing below the LW mark. But any attempt at landing inside is out of the question, so theres not much point.

I believe some residents of Pagham village have permits for small non-powered craft, but WSCC has made these non-transferable, so when said resident dies, or moves away, the licence is cancelled and no more are being issued.  

The birders would have you believe that Pagham Harbour is out of bounds to boaters, but this is a well perpetuated myth:- have a look at an earlier thread ("militant dredger required") on YBW forum which sets out the background in detail, including a copy of the so-called WSCC permit, which demonstrates it to be a sham http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26961&highlight=pagham As you enter Pagham Harbour there are navigation marks (south cardinal at 50 degrees 45.47 minutes N 0 degrees 45.10 minutes W etc). The byelaws for the Nature Reserve are on WSCC website - (the above link to the "militant dredger" thread gives details of where they can be found), however it is not these which restrict navigation, but rather that it is tidebound and only easily accessible for a couple of hours either side of HW. The photograph of Sidlesham Quay posted by Seven Spades, and lifted from Sidlesham Parish Council website, shows that the channel right up to to the quay is navigable at HW springs and also there are photos on "militant dredger" thread of visiting small boats from Pagham and Bognor which confirm this. The Pagham Harbour nature reserve may soon be handed over to the RSPB to manage, so no doubt the myth that boaters are prohibited will be further perpetuated! By the way, did you mean Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, or did you have the Bay at Pagham in mind - near Pagham Yacht Club and the Mulberry Harbour?  

If you compare Pagham and Chichester Harbours, specially at low water, you can see the mess that heavy water-bourne traffic makes of delicate environments like these. Leave Pagham to the twitchers.  

Pagham Thanks everyone. I think that makes it clear. They do not want boats and I see no point in upseting anyone. I will give Pagham Harbour a miss. My interest came about as I am trying to find more places to safely anchor overnight while singlehanding in the Solent and south and west coasts generally and I seem to recall that some 25 years (or more!) ago that it was listed as a place to visit by the Arun Yacht Club. Thanks again.  

I was going to refer you to some info on the Pagham Yacht Club website, but it's gone. Big RSPB Brother? http://www.paghamyachtclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=94

Carribean Blue said: Follow the shingle bank round on your port side to the bottom of Mill Channel. Good luck! The following may help:- Bing Maps has an excellent aerial view of the harbour photographed at low tide and therefore clearly showing the channels. Go to:- http://www.bing.com/maps/#JndoZXJlMT1wbzIxKzR0YiZiYj01NC4yOTQxNDQ5NjE2ODY1JTdlNi4wNDI0ODA0Njg3NSU3ZTQ4LjU0OTQwNjg4NTgwNDMlN2UtNi4wNDI0ODA0Njg3NQ== The nearest postcode to the Harbour entrance is PO21 4TB - enter this postcode, adjust scale and change to Aerial photo and drag. The 1:25000 Ordinance Survey map (Explorer 121 sheet shows the approximate location of the channels). Or go to http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm Enter the above postcode, adjust to scale 1:25000 and re-centre to SZ 877 961. Click to expand...

Seven Spades said: There's a quay there so there must have been enough water to get inside at some point. You could not tie up there today as there are no bollards or rings that I can see. Click to expand...

WARNING Vessels entering the harbour should be aware of the narrow channels, and mud banks. The water is very shallow in many places, only shallow draft vessels or bilge keelers capable of settling on the mud should attempt this. The local boats that visit this location regularlyare, RIBS, sailing catamarans up to 20 feet, and small sea angling vessels. Occasionally seen in the harbour, are the EA in their larger RIB or even their hovercraft!! Ratty and Mole have caught up with the times (got fed up with rowing a wooden boat), they now own a small angling boat with an outboard and GPS plotter, echo sounder etc. Great for picnicking in the harbour . Now they can join in with the harbour paddlers in their canoes and dinghy sailors.  

Dropped in at Sidlesham Quay with the camera on my way home from work. Got there 1hr after HT Portsmouth. (15:00) Two Panoramas: http://fattie.freehostia.com/SidleshamQuay/SQ1.jpg http://fattie.freehostia.com/SidleshamQuay/SQ2.jpg Couple of other shots: http://fattie.freehostia.com/SidleshamQuay/ As you can see the EA were there with quite a large outboard.  

Well I don't see how any boat could tie up there. It look as though there is only about another 18" to the top of the Quay so it would need some serious dredging before any yacht could get to Sidlesham. It is a shame, the old adage use it or loose it seems top sum it up. Now it is really lost.

Have a look at the following:- http://www.wetroads.co.uk/thumbnails/sidlesham%20tidal%20road1.jpg and at the picture posted by Seven Spades earlier in this thread. This is what it looks like HWS +/- I-2 hours, and for a day either side if the barometer is high, but you usually get 2 or 3 days either side. On a low barometer it goes right across the road to the Old Customs House (White Building, extreme left in photo above). Refer back to my previous posting, regarding draft of vessels etc. The local boats that visit the harbour are small vessels with retractable centre boards or, powered craft such as small angling boats, or RIBS have a draft of about 18 inches and need no more than 3 feet to clear the prop. If your boat cant take the ground, dont go in the harbour, for larger vessels visiting see my entry recently regarding anchoring, and come in with your inflatable, or tender. You have been warned!

Opened in 2019, the Tower Beach Club is a 4300 sq ft indoor/outdoor event venue with 270 degree panoramic views of Mission Bay - the perfect wedding reception venue, private party, or corporate venue. Our panoramic doors allow the event venue to be either fully opened to the outside, or closed up to separate the indoor space from the exterior deck. 

If you're looking for a venue that embodies the Southern California beach vibe, it's hard to find a better spot than the Tower Beach Club. 

 With its open-air bar and massive beachfront patio, the event venue is a quintessential high-end beach club without the high-end price tag. Guests booking the event venue for private events, corporate events, or wedding receptions are welcome to bring their own booze, food, and catering in order to cut costs. Unlike many event venues and wedding reception venues, chairs and tables for 120, as well as 8 high top cocktail tables, are included free of charge with venue rental. 

Our private venue is just as adept at hosting a 30-50 person corporate event or off-site meeting as it is hosting a 200 person wedding reception or private party. With a city parks permit, the adjacent beachfront lawn with palm tree backdrop can be used for wedding ceremonies.
