Chapman Sands Sailing club is a family orientated Sailing club that has been on the Island for many years, it has given many happy memories to many families of Canvey Island and we feel it will be sadly missed by the community if it closes as proposed due to the massive increase in price that the council have demanded for the lease going forward... 

My family have been involved in this club for 18 years plus and I now take my children there as it is a safe environment for us to socialise and the children to have fun 

it is now being viewed as a “business / profit organisation” which is not what it is, it is a Sailing club that offers teaching of Sailing and safety on the water for all ages
