How to Join the Club

New Members are Always Welcome!

We are always looking for new members, at whatever level of sailing experience – including those who have never set foot in a boat before !  We are a friendly and inclusive club, with a fantastic Clubhouse and a busy calendar of social and sailing activities.  

Either call the Office or drop in to our Clubhouse to find out more.

The club offers a wide range of sailing activities, both for those interested in racing and those who prefer cruising or just pottering around in boats.  Members do not have to be boat owners – there are always existing members looking for crew, and we run a number of programmes to introduce novices to sailing and to provide training at various levels.

For anyone interested in becoming a member, please contact the Office. We will do our very best to introduce all prospective members to a relevant and experienced Royal Harwich Yacht Club member, to make sure that all your questions are addressed, and that new members are warmly welcomed from the outset.
