Gravesend Sailing Club

From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...

Gravesend Sailing Club was established in 1894, and is the oldest boat club on the lower part of the River Thames.

The club is a Royal Yachting Association establishment, and as such it offers a range of courses, from Dinghy stage one to First Aid certificates.

Gravesend is a family club, whose aim is to provide a hobby for everyone, whether they own a boat or not. Social events are frequent and the club hosts an annual prize-giving and dinner.

As of 2008, the club is home to England's newest Yachting World Day Boat, Widgeon.
