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)

Dear Members

The Clubhouse remains closed indefinitely due to Covid-19 restrictions. The health, safety and well-being of our Members and staff remains our utmost priority.

The Club launch service is now running daily and is available to Members and their families. The latest Government guidelines have been relaxed to allow recreational sailing and the use of motorised craft. Those of you who wish to access the water from the slipway may do so but please be aware that the Clubhouse is closed. You can also access the dinghy yard to use your tender.

We are pleased that Club racing has now resumed, albeit in a slightly restricted format – please check the current Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions. We regret that due to Covid-19 restrictions and the limitations placed on the service, the launch will not be available to our competitors. You will be expected to make your own way out to your boats following the government guidelines in force at the time.

We look forward to resuming normal services as soon as it is recommended to do so and welcoming you all back to our Club.

In the meantime, please stay safe.

Nick Woodley (Acting Commodore) and Flag Officers
