Yacht Clubs

A Yacht Club, or Sailing Club, is a sports club exclusively related to sailing and yachting. Traditionally, a Yacht Club is focused on membership of yacht owners, while a Sailing Club would be membership for smaller boat owners - such as dinghies. Some clubs also include owners of powerboats.

A Members Club is a club run by the membership to promote sailboat racing and cruising, as well as providing a meeting place for the sailing community.

A Sailing Club is different from a Yacht Club in that the members mostly sail other people's boats, at a much lower cost than owning a boat.

Membership is a combination of people who sail as crew, and boat owners. Members decide the objectives to satisfy the membership and to attract other members.

Most clubs will have racing program and may host regattas, ranging from informal local events to larger events on a national level. Often clubs have a weekly evening racing schedule and weekend racing. Many yacht clubs have teams competing against other clubs in team racing.

There are also some specific boat models and lengths which have their own club. These boat ownership clubs often hold single design races for their members.

Clubs with adult sailing programs will often offer junior sailing programs as well, for children from ages 8 to 16. These junior sailing programs often also teach children rowing, kayaking, general seamanship and navigation.

A Commercial Club is owned by individuals or an organisation to provide a service and generate profit. Often they are associated with a particular marina or port.
