Whitstable Yacht Club is delighted to welcome Holidaycottages.co.uk as a major sponsor in 2024, our third year of partnership.

The sponsorship will support a range of sailing and racing activities through the 2024 season including our premier racing event Whitstable Week, community outreach events 'Discover Sailing' to get non sailors on the water, 'On Board' linking with local schools and Cadetfest a summer week-long fun event for cadets. The sponsorship will also provide bursaries for sailing courses both for new adult members and for children to encourage more people of all ages to be drawn to the enjoyable pursuit of sailing.
