We are a family friendly sailing club and enjoy some of the best sailing waters on the North Kent coast.
Less than 15 minutes from the end of the M2 motorway and 45 minutes from the M25, our favourable location and our own slipway access mean that we are able to launch and recover at most states of the tide.
We have members of all ages and abilities, and anyone interested in sailing with us can be sure of receiving plenty of help and encouragement.
Claire Gibson has been the PRO Sailor at the club for the past year. Not only has she introduced new sailing days, 'Ladies what Launch' the 'Improvers Clinics' and the 'Sailing Skills' courses, she has been the back bone of the club regarding fixing broken boats, keeping the training fleet on the water and doing all sorts of jobs that should possibly have been done by others. She has worked tirelessly and has been committed to making sure that the courses ran whenever it was practically possible.

This was yet another great Club Week, blessed by good weather and everyone had a great time.
There were 50 plus cadets on the water and thanks must go to all the helpers and the volunteers who made this yet another fantastic week for our youngsters and seniors alike. A special mention to the senior cadets who helped make sure that all the youngsters had such a great time.
The full report will follow on their return from the West country

Deaf children aged 6 – 17 years from across Kent were invited to a sailing day, which took place at Herne Bay Sailing Club on Saturday 10 July. Besides the spectacle of lots of boats full of visitors being seen to enjoy themselves on the water the club’s contingent of cadets also had a large fleet on the water providing a wonderful demonstration of what the club does so well, i.e. encouraging youngsters to enjoy themselves in healthy out door pursuits.
