In the past the windsurfers had a facebook group, this has now been renamed as Blue Circle Sailing to encompass all in the club, so why not join us? We are found at Blue Circle Sailing - see the latest news, interact and view recent pictures.
Blue Circle Sailing Club was
founded in 1956 and enjoys very good sailing and windsurfing conditions on
an 140 acre lake at Cliffe in North Kent. The lake is separated from the
Thames estuary only by a sea wall and so experiences good sea breezes
especially in the afternoon with the added safety of inland sailing.
Blue Circle is the ideal location
for any learner to gain confidence on the water, we are an RYA recognised
Training Centre and run courses during the season for Adult and Junior club
members.
The club has a full racing
calendar including a 2 day Snipe open meeting, Spring , Summer & Autumn
handicap points series along with a Frostbite winter competition.
Main classes are Snipe, Laser,
Lightning 368, Topper, Mirror, Cadet and sailboard though a wide variety of
other classes are also represented.
The club has an active group of windsurfers,
so if there is any decent wind they will be found sailing at every opportunity.
The club owns a number of boats
including a Snipe, Wayfarer, Laser, three Toppers, two Cadets & two
Opties. These are for use by Club members on a first come first served
basis.
The modern club house is open on
Sundays during the season when hot and cold refreshments and food are
available, and a number of barbecues are held during the summer usually
after major race meetings or at the club Open Day. The club also has men's
and ladies changing rooms with showers.
The club does not compromise on
safety and a safety boat is on the water during all club racing events a
buddy system is operated at all other times.
