Gravesend Sailing Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gravesend Sailing Club was established in 1894,[1] and is believed to be the oldest sailing club on the lower part of the River Thames.[2][3]

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.
