Welcome to the
Royal Cornwall Yacht Club

The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club welcomes sailors of all ages and abilities to our club.

Located within a Grade II listed clubhouse on a 17^th century private quayside, the club overlooks spectacular views of Falmouth Harbour, Flushing, Carrick Roads and beyond. RCYC was formed in 1871, and continues to hold close its traditional values whilst extending a warm welcome to new members.

As a club, we enjoy first class sailing. We host regular club racing as well as world-renowned sailing events. Whilst there is a focus on yacht sailing, we are enthusiastic supporters of dinghy sailing and motor boating interests.

Year round the club runs frequent social events including lectures, tuition and charity fundraising events. Our dining and bar facilities are open all year.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) – Lockdown 2

Dear Members

Unfortunately the current legislation from the UK Government means that once again the Clubhouse will be closed to all members. Only Flag Officers and administration staff are allowed in the Clubhouse to carry out their duties.

We hope that the lockdown will only be for a month and that we will be able to rearrange some of the events that we had planned for November and socialise once more in our wonderful Club, albeit at a social distance!

If any Members in Falmouth or the surrounding area need any practical help or support, please let us know and we will do our best to help out. A number of our team of volunteers are very happy to assist, whether by practical support such as shopping, prescription delivery and so on or by something more personal, such as an occasional telephone call.

Karen and Chris will continue to cover the Club’s administration and accounts, working mainly from home, for their protection. Where possible, therefore, if you have any queries or comments, emailing admin@royalcornwallyachtclub.org may well get you an answer quicker than phoning the office.

In the meantime, please stay safe.

Flag Officers
