Royal Corinthian Yacht Club Cowes
In 1948, the Club established it’s ‘Southern’ branch at Cowes in the present Clubhouse. The building has a varied history and started life as a fishermen’s beer house in the 18th Century.
The Club continued life as a private Club until it was sold to a private individual at the end of the 80’s and was re-purchased from the receiver in late 1992 by a small group of members for the benefit of the Club. The repayment of the financing of that purchase by all the Members was completed in 1999 enabling the Club to become a Members Club.
It is now 12 years since the re-establishment of the Club at Cowes. Many new Members have been added to the core that was previously associated with the Club before this period of interruption. The Club’s sailing programme and events for visiting yachtsmen have developed rapidly and there is great potential for social activity amongst the Members as well as continuing the development of the Club’s use by visiting yachtsmen.
The Cowes branch of the Club has over 800 Members. It’s position, the style of the Clubhouse and its grounds set it apart from the other Clubs in Cowes. It is the favourite spot for relaxing after sailing, and its ambience has also helped it be successful in attracting visiting yacht clubs and classes.
