Wear casual clothes, trainers and bring dry clothes to change into. No wellies
as they fill with water. Bring hat, gloves and anorak if it's cold, sun cream
and sunglasses if it's sunny.
Erith Yacht Club is on Manor Road, DA8 2AD. Directions can be found on
You'll be welcomed by our Shoremaster and Volunteers who'll help you
decide which boat would suit you. Then you'll be kitted out with a lifejackets and
waterproofs if it's raining.
We'll take you onto the pontoon and then into the boat, using the
hoist if necessary.
Next the fun part - we'll go sailing. You'll sit comfortably and enjoy your first sail.
After an hour or so, it'll be back to dry land for a warm drink (and a packed lunch
if you've brought one) and a chat with our Volunteers.
