Situated on the North Kent Coast, an area popular with sailors, the Tankerton Bay Sailing Club was formed in 1962. There is a friendly atmosphere, welcoming all ages and all abilities.
We generally race on Sundays as well as having a full sailing calendar including cruising and more relaxed sailing for both dinghy and catamaran sailors supported by a fun social programme over most weekends from late March to early November. Additionally we are an accredited RYA Training Centre offering a range of courses for all abilities. .
If you would like to find out more, then please use the contact us form. Better still, why not call in at the club on a weekend during the sailing season, when we would be pleased to talk to you about our club, and to answer any questions that you may have?
A great evening was had by 100 members and friends at the Marine on the 1st December as we celebrated a great season for which we have much to shout about. Terrific racing, reinvigorated training (thanks North Shore!) an up and coming youth section (us experienced sailors need to watch out...) and plenty of activity both on and off the shore. Membership booming and recognition through the RYA members survey that we are one of the best clubs in the south east

In the Cat fleet, Tim and Ashten Blades came in 2nd on their Dart 18 and claimed their first long distance cats series. In the Mono fleet, Ted North also finished 2nd on the day which secured the mono long distance series. We are informed that this is his first series win in over 50 years of sailing! Well do
16th September 2018 saw Tankerton Bay Sailing Club take part for the third year running in the largest sailing race in the world, 'Bart's Bash'.

Tankerton Bay’s own RYA Training Centre has been a hive of activity over the summer break.
6 adults and 15 children have come along to our various courses in August. We have battled high winds and 3-foot waves (which the youngsters seemed to love swimming in) and we have had days of sunshine and perfect training winds - generally a nice long-shore force 2 to 3. We have introduced families and individuals to sailing from age 8 to 60 plus, running Stage 1 Youth and Level 1
