Roger Y, Commodore. Roger started sailing with his family in a lugsail-rigged, clinker-built boat typically launched from the Itchenor Hard or from Bosham when he was too young to remember. He grew up sailing at Chichester Yacht Club in Mirrors, GP14s and Fireballs, in which he won the National Youth Championship with Mike Moss (another Club member with whom he still sails!) as long ago as 1976. He captained the British Universities Sailing Team. After graduating he joined Itchenor Sailing Club to sail International 14s, winning the Prince of Wales Cup. He represented GBR at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, where he finished 6th in the Flying Dutchman Class, crewed by Neal McDonald, a fellow Itchenor Int 14 sailor. Roger has competed extensively offshore and completed the ARC, the Round Britain and Ireland, the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart on a division winning Sydney 60. However, he loses most races he enters! Roger lives in Itchenor and sails an XOD. |
 | Roger H, Vice Commodore. Growing up on the IOW Roger learned to sail in Bembridge Harbour and at Seaview. He crewed for his father on an XOD on Saturdays and Tuesday evenings, really enjoying the evening sailing. He was a member at Brading Haven Yacht Club for many years and was then introduced to Darings and joined a syndicate as a member of the RLYC in Cowes. His 4 children all have a great love of sailing having grown up sailing at Itchenor in Mirrors, 420s and now RS200s. They are often seen at the Club sailing; instructing, working as assistant bosun or behind the bar. Roger has been a member of ISC since 1997 and was Chair of Junior Fortnight and has served on the GC. He continues to enjoy racing keelboats and has recently purchased an XOD. |

Roger ES, Rear Commodore Sailing. Roger started his sailing at the club. Early memories include capsizing in the Mirror parent and child race with his father Richard who was a keen 14er. After racing Ducklings, Mirrors and Fireflies at Junior Fortnight he graduated to helming an International 14 and won both the European and North American Championships. He then sailed a variety of boats at the club included K6 and singlehanders and currently is a member of a Swallow syndicate whilst also continuing to occasionally dabble in other fleets including XoDs and 200s. His three children all raced in Junior Fortnight while Roger took on responsibility for organising the sailing at the event for four years. He has also been a Class Captain on two separate occasions. He currently splits his time between Itchenor and London. |

Nick B, Rear Commodore Cruising and Rowing. Nick has been a member since 2008 and his three daughters all learned to sail at the club. He has many happy memories of Junior Fortnights - and of annual practice' trips to Menorca Sailing where the whole family sailed together, something which they all still do, now sailing catamarans around the Ionian islands. Nick rowed at university and took the sport up again when the Club bought Quadrille. Highlights have included rowing in Venice at the Vogalonga, rowing up the Seine in Paris and competing for Great Britain (somewhat surprisingly!) in the 2022 World Rowing Coastal Championships. |

Kendall M, Rear Commodore Junior Sailing Kendall has been a member since 2013 and has been actively involved in junior sailing for most of that time, with all three of her children having trained in regional squads and sailed in national/international events and in Junior Fortnight. Kendall is passionate about creating opportunities for keen youth sailors to train, compete and improve their sailing skills. She started the Feva and Laser Harbour Series in 2021 to offer Itchenor sailors the opportunity to compete in larger fleets against competitors from local clubs in larger fleets in Chichester Harbour. Prior to taking on the role as RCJS, Kendall served as Feva Class Captain for three years and on the Junior Fortnight and General Committees for one year each. In addition to supporting junior sailing both on and off the water, Kendall enjoys a good quiz night! |
