Thorpe Bay Yacht Club
Boat Dealer in Southend-on-Sea, Essex
60 years ago on May 17th 1948, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club was established by a group of enthusiastic youngsters led by Kit Hobday. They met at his parents house St. Helens to form the 1st yacht club E of Southend pier. There were at the time only four other sailing clubs in the Borough, all W of the pier in rather restricted situations. Up until this time Thorpe Bay had been viewed as an exposed coastline, but was seen by Kit as an unobstructed expanse of water suitable for setting the courses needed for top class dinghy sailing.

On behalf of the club we send our most sincere condolences to Sara, Dano, L and all of his family at this very sad time. At this time the General Committee have decided that the access to free sailing from our Dinghy Park will now be closed and we ask members to comply with that decision.
