hi folks, many years ago we sailed from the source of the thames down to estuary and then down medway till maidstone.

on route we slept in a sailing clubhouse (where ???) which was on an island. sorry for being vague. but would anyone know of a sailing club on an island down the thames.

it was 1988 when i was there, i'm sure it would still be there (nice bar)

any ideas welcome
thanks alot

Could it have been Eel Pie Island?
(Richmond Yacht Club)

Really would help if you cold be a little less vague about which stretch of the river !
As someone else has already suggested, Eel Pie Island is a definite possibility but I have a feeling you may be talking about Ravens Ait just above Kingston which has had a chequered history but was, I think, some years ago home to a sailing club and was the home of TS Neptune, a sea cadet HQ.

In recent years it was a corporate events and wedding venue but went bust a year or two ago and is about to be relaunched in the coming weeks.

Hampton Sailing Club

I think that you might be referring to Hampton Sailing Club which is based on its own island, near to Garrick's Temple, just upstream of Hampton Court Palace.
