Monday 26th May - Club cruise towards Whitstable 1000 start, briefing 0930

Club cruise towards Whitstable - Monday 26th May 10 am start


This bank holiday Monday we have the first club cruise of the season planned. We are going to sail east up the coast towards Whitstable, briefing at 9.30am in the club house. We will depart the club at 10am using the rising tide to sail up the coast for a couple of hours before landing for lunch. Remember to bring pack lunch with you. The exact destination will be dependent on weather conditions, but there are a number of good safe beaches where we can land with amenities near. We will return on the falling tide aiming to be back any the club around 3pm.


If we are to under take this adventure we need some volunteers to helm and crew safety boats please log into sailing manager and put your name down. These cruise are a popular feature of the sailing calendar and we aim to get as many members on the water as possible so if you have a two hander please consider offering a ride to other members. We can team people up on the day.

Thanks in advance,

Ben Gardner
