Welcome To Our Online Forum
The Club
was formed on the 1st of May 1967, moved in 1978 to the current location
(see map) and has been extended since. It is a friendly, family-oriented
club, sailing on an inland child-friendly lake.
The Club has three
rescue boats with engines, six Topper sailing dinghies and six Optimist sailing
dinghies. The Toppers and Optimists can be hired by Members. They are also
used for Club courses.
The Club became a recognised RYA training establishment in 1978 and courses are run by Club Instructors based on the RYA teaching programme. Race training is also run alongside the novice course. The Principal of the Training Establishment is Keith Macey.
Dinghy racing takes place every Sunday all the year round and on Wednesday evenings during the summer. Occasionally we run Saturday events. In all our events, both on and off the water, the Club strives to maintain the friendly family atmosphere that has been built up over the years, and because of this, plus the safety of inland water, many youngsters can sail in conditions that would not normally be practical.
The Club
encourages and has a number of organisations affiliated and using the lakes,
such as scouts, local schools, social services etc. and annually provides
facilities for Kent Schools Sailing Association events.
