What Makes A Yacht Club Royal?

Royal Yacht Club Royal is a prestigious and exclusive yacht club with a rich history dating back over 200 years. It originated in London and was formed by a group of gentlemen who sailed on the River Thames and met regularly at the Coal Hole Tavern off the Strand. The Royal Cork Yacht Club, based in Crosshaven, Ireland, is the world’s oldest yacht club founded in 1720. The Royal Harwich Yacht Club is proud to have His Royal.

The Royal Thames Yacht Club, founded in 1775, is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the world and is credited with devising the concept of fleet racing for yachts. The Royal Windermere Yacht Club, established in 1860, is well documented in three books, the latest published in 2010.

A yacht club is a boat club specifically related to yachting. The Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS) is a British yacht club with its clubhouse located at Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. Member yachts are given the right to own boats of at least 20 tons (20,321 kg).

There are two types of yacht clubs: sailing and cruising. Membership in both is predominantly sailors, but a few members of the cruising club belong to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania. As a leading yacht club, the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania aims to promote a culture of sailing, cruising, and quality food and service events. Queen Victoria granted the club the privileges of a royal club in 1886, and the Admiralty granted a Full Warrant to fly the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty’s Fleet.
