Yacht clubs are exclusive social membership organizations for boaters and sailors, typically located near lakes or the sea. They offer a wide range of facilities, including marinas, pools, and tennis. The duties of a Commodore in a yacht club include managing the affairs of the club and the Regatta Committee, as well as ensuring the prestige of the club.
The Royal Canadian Yacht Club was founded in Toronto in 1852 to serve both as a yachting recreational club and a special place in the traditions of yacht clubs. As Encinal YC approaches 132 years of operation, a review of their time-tested Commodore is provided.
A yacht club is a boat club specifically related to yachting, usually found near lakes or the sea. Members are either boat owners or members of a fleet manager or fleet. A yacht club’s constitution includes several roles, such as Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore, Secretary, and Treasurer.
The business side of the club, including running the club and the clubhouse, is the responsibility of the President, Senior Vice, and Club burgee. The club burgee flies from the boat’s main masthead on a small flagstaff, usually called a pig’s flag.
In summary, yacht clubs are private membership organizations that provide members with access to facilities such as marinas, pools, and tennis. The Commodore serves as the club president and is responsible for managing the affairs of the club and the regatta committee.
