About The Club

Formed in 1871, the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club (RCYC) is situated in the idyllic waterfront setting of the Greenbank area in Falmouth.

Falmouth has long been a venue for major regattas, and the Club has been instrumental in organising major sailing events since before the Second World War. Large yachts of the J Class visited in the 1930s, and we were delighted to welcome them back in 2012 and again in 2015.

RCYC is often host to international, national and local regattas. Events organized by RCYC in the more recent years include:

1999 – 1720 Worlds, AZAB

2000 – Dragon Edinburgh Cup; Melges 24 Nationals

RCYC is ready to resume club racing next Friday, 3rd July.

There will be two series consisting of five races per series. The first series will be Pursuits, white sail (except Flying Fifteens). The Sailing Instructions and any amendments will be published to our website by Wednesday 1st July.

Unfortunately, the clubhouse is not yet open so there is no access to toilets, showers, or changing facilities and there is no food available. Also, 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.

If you wish to join in with our Friday evening racing please complete a Race Entry Form available from the RCYC website www.royalcornwallyachtclub.org . NB - please ignore the race fees….RCYC have decided to forego this years entry fees, however, we do need to know your YTC number to calculate the Pursuit start times.

If you have any queries, or need further information please do not hesitate to contact me (details below) or our Rear Commodore Sailing at rcs@royalcornwallyachtclub.org

We look forward to seeing many of our usual racers on the water on Friday evenings.. and welcome any other club's members who might wish to join in.
