Gunfleet Sailing Club members took part in the fourth race in the Winter Series on Sunday 3 November 2024 with victory going to Paul Jackson in his Solo.

Gunfleet Sailing Club members filled the Clubhouse last Saturday 19 October 2024 to celebrate the end of the 2024 sailing season, with a Chinese meal and the presentation of trophies.  Commodore Richard Walker also celebrated thirty years of being at the helm of the Gunfleet, looking back to the start of the Club in 1962.  He was very pleased to report that 2024 had seen a bumper turn-out of boats taking part in the racing, with in excess of five hundred entries during the year; a record from his knowledge of the Club.

Gunfleet Sailing Club’s 2024 Cadet Splash took part over the three days of 27 – 29 August and was heralded a great success by all those taking part – both the participants and the helpers.  The weather was wall to wall sunshine, with a sailors’ wind throughout, although occasionally somewhat trying.  Two teams were chosen – The Frankie’s Stein, and the Five Part Turk’s Head; both names just rolling off the tongue!!  Our Cadet Officer Jo ran the whole thing, with a bunch of parent helpers, and a full and varied programme got underway.

Gunfleet Sailing Club held its annual Regatta, sponsored by Orsted Energy and Odiin Recruitment, over the weekend of 20 & 21 July with twenty-eight boats taking part in an offshore wind and a mixture of sunshine and clouds.
