The word "yacht" in the club's name normally sets the alarm bells ringing.......

There are so many clubs where I have been and had a great time on and off the water.
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Or "Royal".
The combination of the two, well...

Thats not true, Royal Burnham Yacht club has been one of the friendliest ive ever visited (or maybe just the one I've got the most drunk at) I find the 'royal' clubs arnt actually that bad, its the clubs who wish they were 'royal' and try to emulate what they think it means to be one of these clubs that are worst.

Why in god's name don't you stop using that
melted down horse glue Roger?... Go mad and 
get a tube of UHU.

I do actually have room for a beer fridge in the Osprey Rupert.

Sorry grumpf but you're completely wrong on that one - Broadstairs is one of the best clubs i've ever done an open at. friendly, welcoming, great cheap curry and some fantastic drinking games in some great visitors vs. locals matches...

Deffo in my all time top 5 list of clubs to go to which is of course headed by West Kirby..

Never even occurred to me to try and darken their doors...
 
Mind you, I've know members, and they have been very nice chaps indeed!

South Carn YC in Abersoch - went there first off years ago with a friend who was a member, very good time from what I could remember of it, second time I went as a non-member and guest it was elitist tosh I'm afraid but not on same scale of RSYC in Hamble or RYS in Cowes.. not all YC's are awful though, Lymington is great! +1 for HISC BTW too.

Amazes me how much kids get frowned on in some sailing, tennis & golf clubs... where do people think their membership is coming from in future?  It's like Cycling clubs who won't even talk to you until you've proven yourself able to ride at the front on a Sunday for xxx miles.... haven't they heard of encouraging beginners?
