"Originally called the Whitstable Yacht Racing Committee, it was set up by Fred Goldfinch, a wealthy local grocer and ship owner, and Alf Bates who had a Cycle Agency in Canterbury. . . . it was not until 1904 that they decided to form a club, called the Kent Yacht Club . . . . In 1906 the name was changed to Whitstable Yacht Club as the original title was felt to be too presumptuous. . . . In the 1980s the Club was one of the few established Yacht Clubs in the country to encourage windsurfing. "
