Located at the western end of the Solent, the Royal Lymington Yacht Club began its life in 1922 as the Lymington River Sailing Club. It quickly gained strength and in 1924 found a home in a disused boathouse beside the River. This original structure remains, just, as the southern wing of today's expanded premises, commanding an outstanding view down the Lymington River, across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. The membership has grown from the original 85 to around 3,000. The Club's objectives are to encourage and promote yachting in all its aspects, and to maintain a clubhouse and other facilities for the use of members and visiting yachtsmen. The emphasis of the Club is very much on the practical enjoyment of sailing and motor-boating, to which the extensive racing and social programme is an adjunct. The Club is also justly proud of its family atmosphere, and of the high sea-going standards set and maintained by its members over the years. The Club is honoured to have Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal as Patron. The Club welcomes applications from anyone "active" in yachting, which can be either power or sail, or as a helper. A membership application pack is available from the club office. Royal Lymington Yacht Club website |
