Situated
on the North Kent Coast, an area popular with sailors, the Tankerton Bay Sailing
Club was formed in 1962, adopting a friendly atmosphere, welcolming all ages.
The
ethos of the club is...
...to encourage
the spirit of sailing with particular emphasis on family participation
...to
foster a spirit of comradeship amongst sailors using Tankerton's beaches
...to
organise races in accordance with Royal Yachting Association rules
We are very proud that these principal aims have continued from the begininning,
and that the family approach is maintained.
Club Facilities
The Club House is constructed
at the base of a grass slope, providing 3 main levels to the building. On
the ground floor is the Bosun's locker, our Suport Boat and storage under
the balcony. The first floor level consists of a main area, bar and galley
all leading to a large balcony overlooking the beach and sea. The balcony
is ideal for watching the racing, the water being just 7 metres away!
Off the main area are the changing rooms and toilets, with the race tower
on the top level, providing a perfect position for observing the racing.
We also have a bar, where drinks can be purchased at very low prices, and
a galley with sandwiches, biscuits, crisps and hot drinks.
