Welcome to the Royal Yorkshire Yacht
Club website!
|
| The RYYC is based in Bridlington, East Yorkshire
and operates from two sites. The main clubhouse is located on Windsor Crescent
just opposite the harbour from where the keelboats reside, whilst the
dinghy section, Dinghies@RYYC, operates from Blyth Park a couple of miles
south down Bridlington's sandy beaches. Members and visitors are made welcome
to use
all the club's
facilities. If you are an experienced sailor looking for a new club please
contact the Secretary who will put
you in contact with a suitable member to get you sailing straight away. |
If you are new to the sport, there are many
ways to learn at the RYYC. Choose "Training" from the menu opposite for
more details. We also cater for the needs of those who have no desire to
get their feet wet. The RYYC has a varied and lively social programme running
throughout the year. Social membership can be applied for which will also
allow you the use of our bar with its fantastic views across the bay as
well as all our other on-shore facilities and access to our social programme. |
 |
| New to Sailing? |
| There are many ways to get sailing at the RYYC. The RYYC
has a full time Training
Centre which runs RYA (Royal Yachting Association) courses in Sailing,
Windsurfing and Powerboating. These courses are run by qualified staff
and will usually last between 1 and 3 days. This will give you all the
basics you need to go sailing. For more details click here or
contact the Secretary on 01262 678319. |
Alternatively why not come along for an informal visit?
Again please contact the Secretary.
Many boat owners are often looking for new crew and would be happy to train
a novice. Why not sign up to the crew
register? Failing any of the above, have a word with the Secretary
who will put you in contact with someone who will be able to guide you
with the best route into the sport. |
| Regatta Introduction |
| The 151st Annual
Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club regatta will run from 9-16 August 2008.
The regatta as always will mix some hot racing with its legendry social
programme, culminating in the annual Regatta Ball. |
Racing will take place for International Contessa 26, Squibs,
Yorkshire One Designs, Cruisers (Both NERR and PY) and perhaps RYYC Dinghy
Catamarans. Racing takes place on a variety of courses in and around Bridlington
Bay. |
| Facilities |
|
| The main clubhouse is located on Windsor Crescent. Two function
rooms and kitchens on the ground floor can cater for up to 120 people.
Up on the first floor is the Bar, which is a lovely place to have a drink
with friends whilst enjoying the great views over Bridlington Bay. There
are also smaller function rooms for private parties and a balcony |
where you can laze in the afternoon on one of Bridlington's
summer days. Accommodation is available on a nightly basis in the club
bunk room, whilst flats owned by the club can be rented on a yearly basis
by members at very reasonable rates. See separate pages for Harbour
