University of Kent Sailing and Windsurfing Club - Back for another year at WYC

Posted: Sunday, 27 September, 2015

The University of Kent Sailing and Windsurfing Club will be coming back to Whitstable Yacht Club again this October to kick off their sailing season. They're starting this year on 3rd October with a taster sessions for new students interested in sailing, then will be down at the club most weekends between now and the end of the academic year in June!
The UKC club has a fleet of Lasers, Toper Xenons, Topaz Unos, a Dart 16 and an array of windsurf equipment at Whitstable Yacht Club, and the students who take part are a range from absolute beginners to experienced instructors! Ruth Wilkinson, club Presendent also aims to get the UKC boats taking part in some WYC club racing this year.
As well as getting students out on the water, they do work for charity, and last year raised £4,000 for the RNLI through fundraising. They hope to run another fundraiser this year, so look out for it!
