The sponsorship will support a range of sailing activities through the 2025 season including our premier racing event Whitstable Week, community outreach events linking with local schools and Cadetfest a summer weeklong fun event for young people. The sponsorship will also support WYC's innovative 'Transition to Racing' programme aimed at bringing more competent learners of all ages into the club's racing programme.
holidaycottages.co.uk will continue to provide bursaries for sailing courses both for new adult members and for children to encourage more people of all ages to be drawn to the enjoyable pursuit of sailing.
