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.
Past and Present Herne Bay Sailing Club members are invited to take part in an invitation race in commemoration of Jim Newbery who died in November 2007.

Allan McNeil, Jim Ledger, James Woodward, Alex Benfield (all RYA Powerboat Instructors) will be running an introduction and improver session, on the 18th July, to cover HBSC safety boat handling techniques.
We will be assisted by a number of other club 'specialists'.
Numbers are limited to 15 club members and is a free of charge training event.
We will aim to cover items as varied as:
Could we please also have some Cadets, sail a Catamaran, a Feva and a single hander, for the team to help rescue. (Cadets please volunteer and let Nathan Hudson know or use this contact form for more information)
Thanks to all those who turned up this evening (Wednesday the 14th June 2009), at a 'Drop of a Hat' to tighten up the slipway bolts, I really appreciated that guys.
Three-quarters of the slipway bolts have been re-tightened and if any group of young, old, or preferably a combination of both have the time to tighten the remainder whilst the tides are low, please do. At present the socket-bars are behind the front door and there needs to be at least two people involved.
Thanks once again to all who turned up.
Nathan

During the weekend Hannah Golton and Ross Blackledge from Herne Bay Sailing Club represented Kent in the National Schools Sailing Association Championships at Oxford.
Saturday 9th May saw Herne Bay Sailing Club Cadets hit the water for some serious fun.
On the weekend of April 25th and 26th we hosted an Open Meeting for the Buzz, ISO and Laser 2000 classes.
There was an epic start to the first race on Saturday in a force 5 wind with one of the our ISO sailors causing havoc on the start line when he thought he was sailing an Ice-breaker and allegedly tried to sail through too small a gap, causing another ISO to crash into the committee boat.
There was such a bang, that the Officers on the committee boat thought Somali pirates were attacking them.
Herne Bay Sailing Club prides itself on being a club “run by members for members”, and this is never more evident than during the yearly task of laying the club’s slipway.
