Wow - Gunfleet is certainly where it all happens, if you are a dinghy sailor!

Recent Highlights

Gunfleet Sailing Club members took part in the race for the John Venables Trophy on Sunday 2 August 2026 with seventeen dinghies taking to the water.  The course for this race required the competitors to circumnavigate all the Club buoys whist returning to the AWS mark between each one, resulting in a fan-like sail in a clockwise direction.  Conditions proved to be ideal with a force 4 north-easterly wind, a gentle sea, and unbroken sunshine.

Gunfleet Sailing Club held its annual Regatta on Sunday 28 June 2026, sponsored by Orsted and Seamark Nunn, in lively conditions, attracting visiting sailors from far and wide, joining with members to have an exciting day of sailing.
