East Coast
The eleven navigable rivers of the lower East Coast from the Swale in the Kent to the Ore in the Suffolk offer an un-spoilt alternative to the often over crowded waters of the South coast.
The S&CA has historically had a strong presence in the East and today a number of club members keep a diverse selection of craft on the various rivers ranging from dinghies through traditional river craft, sailing yachts of between 18 to 42 feet and power boats of all shapes and sizes up to a sea going tug - the crews are equally diverse of all ages, sexes, shapes and sizes.
As well as participating fully in all the other club events every year we arrange a number of meets and rallies on different rivers on the East Coast which gives a chance for the fleet to gather and opportunities for others to experience the delights of this great cruising area.
Whilst finding a drying sandbank to seaward of you when you are miles off shore may be off putting to some it hones the navigational skills of the skippers. The area which is continually developing and offers a complete range of marinas and services. The Medway alone has seven marinas and you can tie up literally right outside one of the two river front gay pubs.
