Posted: Sunday, 28 April, 2013

Members should note that we will be using our new temporary committee boat with effect from next Saturday 4 May. As the tide will be low the course will be laid well offshore to avoid shallows so sailors should allow more time to get to the start line. The starting sequence will be as normal (see club sailing instructions)

New free WiFi access point

Posted: Sunday, 23 December, 2012

A new free WiFi access point is being trialled in the club bar. If this one proves to be better, then the old Freerunner hotspot will be removed in the new year. The hotspot should give you a stable connection to the internet while in the club building for smartphones, tablets and laptops! To access the hotspot, look for the "WYCFreeWiFi" wireless connection on your device, then follow the instructions on the login page. If you have any feedback on the new access point, please contact Robert Govier

Prosper Art Project update - Helicopter aerial photography

Posted: Wednesday, 12 December, 2012

The Prosper Arts Project will be taking photographs of Whitstable Yacht Club and the last race of the season from a helicopter this Sunday! After success of the aerial photography from a plane on 18th November, the project wants to maximise the opportunity to capture aerial photography of the last race in the season on Sunday 16th December by hiring a JetRanger helicopter (and pilot) to fly from Manston to Whitstable harbour. The aircraft will be on task at 13:55 and fly not less than 600 feet altitude and remain over the beach or close inshore for 45 minutes. The aim is to follow the race and then return safely to Manston, with a total flight time of 1 hour 10 minutes. Please come and make the last race a good one, with as many boats on the water as possible, and members who aren't sailing on the beach for a great photo opportunity! More ›
