Welcome to Herne Bay Sailing Club
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.

Europe nationals 05/09/2009 & 06/09/2009
Mon, 14/09/2009 - 04:01 — webmaster
Herne Bay Sailing Club hosted the 2009 International Europe Class British Open and National Championships over the first September weekend.
With the previous day's training session cancelled due to strong winds the competitors were happy to see a force 4 south westerly at the start of proceedings on Saturday morning. There was a steady chop which made for some interesting sailing with wind against tide. There was an excellent contest between Chris Catt, Gareth Williams and the Belgians, Gaetan Van Houtte and bart Decouttore, with Chris Catt of Downs SC leading over night.
On day 2 the wind dropped but there was still no let up in the closely fought races with Gill, Catt and Williams fighting it out with the Belgian lads. Our own Hannah Golton, having never sailed a Europe before took the prize for the first youth sailor, well dome Hannah.
RYA Hornet National Championships 05/09/2009 & 06/09/2009
Sun, 13/09/2009 - 17:59 — webmasterThe Hornets descended on Herne Bay SC for their 2009 National Championships. On the Saturday, the breeze was a force 4 westerly with a wind-over-tide chop making it an excellent contest. In the first race places swapped throughout with Peter Bennett and John Shelton from Shoreham SC flying down the off-wind stages to win the first race. The Herne Bay contingent were all placed in the second half of the fleet having chosen to stay put wide on the beats whilst the leaders chose the middle of the course.
