Immediately eastwards of Yarmouth Pier, within a short walk of the harbour. With an unrivalled position commanding the Western Solent

The Club is ideally placed to host and organise major events. The Folkboat Association has held its national championships here for over thirty years and the Association's Walcon Cup, an international team racing event, has been raced under the organisation of the Club since its inception. The Royal Artillery Yacht Club has held its annual regatta at the Club for over fifty years and the Sigma 33 Class and Contessa 32 Class have also held their national championships under the Club's burgee.

Welcome from The Commodore

I am pleased to welcome you to the Royal Solent yacht Club website which I hope you will find interesting and useful.

The Royal Solent Yacht Club was founded in 1878 and occupies a superb position on the foreshore in the attractive town of Yarmouth. Views of the Solent from our bar and dining room are outstanding and enjoyed by members and visitors alike.

The objectives of the Club are to encourage and promote yachting, cruising, racing and other boating activities and provide a Clubhouse to enable members and visitors to relax and enjoy the company of other like-minded individuals.

We are a friendly club and members of RYA affiliated clubs and reciprocal clubs and skippers and crews visiting Yarmouth, whether cruising or competing in rallies or races organised by the club, are very welcome. Please come and enjoy our Club bar and sample our excellent food either in the restaurant or on the balcony.

Sailing and Social

We operate an active sailing and social programme throughout the year, more details of which are given elsewhere on this website.

Membership

Applications from anyone interested in boating or related activities are welcome and information packs can be obtained from the Secretary.

I hope that you all have an enjoyable and safe 2006 and look forward to welcoming you to the Club in the near future.
