Situated just off the large shingle
beach at Hythe, Hythe and Saltwood Sailing Club provides great
facilities for sailing and windsurfing in an informal, friendly
environment. A real 'family' club, we welcome visitors and new
members alike; you'll soon feel 'part of the family'. The sailing
and windsurfing at Hythe is excellent, ranging from those warm,
flat days, ideal for beginners, to demanding force 8 gales; enough
to test the most proficient windsurfer. Usually, however,
conditions are a more sedate force 2 to 4 in the prevailing
south-westerly winds.
Hythe & Saltwood Sailing Club
is situated on the sea front at Hythe, Kent, 10 minutes from the
M20 motorway. This position allows the Club to take advantage of
the excellent sailing area provided by Hythe Bay, with the
convenience of Hythe town and other nearby sporting
facilities.Members of the Club come from all aspects of the local
community, from retired couples, to young families with children.
For the non-sailor there is a social membership at a specially
reduced rate.
The well appointed clubhouse,
whose sun deck overlooks Marine Parade, has a licensed bar, a
galley providing hot food and refreshments, changing rooms with
hot showers, a large dinghy park and a secure sailboard storage
garage. All club facilities, the bar and galley are run by Club
members on a voluntary basis, thus ensuring a friendly atmosphere
for the whole family.
The Club has two main activity
sections, designed to promote both dinghy sailing and windsurfing.
However the Club also has a strong social programme, with numerous
parties, BBQ's and fun sports for everyone's enjoyment. Special
events are also held throughout the year with open days, regattas
and a visit to and from our rival French club, Circle Voile
d'Artois.
