Chris' involvement in dinghy sailing started when he was a schoolboy in Singapore in the 1960s. Throughout his career he has never missed an opportunity to go sailing, including sand-yachting in the desert in Saudi Arabia! A member of HPYC since 2015, Chris has served in a variety of roles on the GMC. He loves the Club and is wholeheartedly committed to its continuing growth and development.

I have been a member of HPYC for 50 years. During that time I have served as Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, Sailing Secretary and Bosun. I have also served on the GMC for a number of years. At present I am the water safety rep. For the club, and I sit on the Whitstable and Herne Bay water safety committee.

I joined HPYC about 4 years ago and while I had sailed a little bit when much younger, this the first time I had joined a club. You will normally find me messing up turns in my old Comet, wondering where the faster boats have gone. This year I've added a Laser to my fleet, but as the time of writing this I haven't had the chance to sail her.

Hi, I’m Richard Myers. Originally from Wigan, I’ve been in Kent for over 30 years and joined HPYC when my family and I moved to Greenhill in 2014. Sailing a bashed-up Laser with enthusiasm, I’m Vice-Commodore and responsible (?!) for looking after the buildings and estate of the club. I’m also Fast Fleet captain, so encourage those boats to participate as much as possible.
