Race Marks off Littlehampton
MARINERS ARE ADVISED that the four yellow Special Marks established off Littlehampton by the Arun Yacht Club for yacht racing purposes are now on station year-round rather than seasonal as previously. Going forward, they will only be ashore in pairs for short servicing periods of circa 3 weeks over the winter months.

Mariners are also advised that the licensed positions have been adjusted multiple times in recent
years to facilitate shorter and therefore more inclusive courses for amateur crews and/or slower
yachts.
Owners, Agents, Charterers, Marinas, Yacht Clubs, and Recreational Sailing Organisations should ensure that the contents of this Notice are made known to the masters or persons in charge of their vessels or craft.
This new standing Local Notice to Mariners hereby cancels LNtM 02 of 2022 Race Marks off
Littlehampton.
