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 sail most weekends from late March through to early November. See our 2020 sailing calendar for details on racing, cruising and relaxed sailing for both dinghy and catamaran sailors supported by a fun 2020 social programme.
As an accredited RYA Training Centre we offer a range of courses plus "have a go" days and sailing experiences for all abilities. New 2020 dates just issued
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.
We are delighted to receive a generous £1000 donation from Anne Martin (nee Smallridge) and her companion DIck Howard in memory of her late father, Gordon Smallridge a former TBSC Commodore, and mother Jimmy, who were part of the group who helped found the club in the early '60s. Anne and Dick have lived in Canada since the mid 1960's and Anne contacted the club last Autumn following her father and mothers recent passing.

Tony, a 70 year old grandfather was lucky enough to have been gifted a catamaran experience by his family. Tony had no previous experience of sailing a catamaran, but by the end of the 2 hour session with our experienced instructors he was out "on the wire" and smiling from ear to ear as he enjoyed the sailing and the fantastic views across the North
This is the second year of the Alex Holliday Trust, where one pupil from year 9 at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, is selected for a sailing scholarship at the club.

So each year, the chosen cadet will get a full honorary membership until the end of the year, training to RYA Level 1 in Dinghy Sail
