Medway Yacht Club

Is situated on the river Medway in Kent one of the nine navigable rivers that make up the beautiful lower east coast cruising ground easily reached from the south coast and other east coast ports.  MYC makes an ideal starting point for that alternative summer cruise (avoiding the €uro zone) or the launch pad for a cruise up the Thames to London or over to Holland.
