If you are interested in sailing at one of the oldest and largest sailing clubs in England then look no further. Situated on the north coast of Kent at the mouth of the Swale Estuary, WYC offers sailing in sheltered waters at all times of the tide for catamarans, dinghies, and windsurfers. Yachts are moored in a nearby drying-out marina.

The Club organises racing every weekend from March to December as well as evening racing during the summer, and is a popular championship venue.
