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. he 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.
