Club Sailing

Up to 2003, Volunteer, the yacht of the RNVR Yacht Club, provided sailing opportunities for non-yacht owning members. However, owing to an increasing level of ownership of yachts by Club members, her usage has fallen to the extent that it is not viable to continue with Club ownership of a yacht. Accordingly, Volunteer will not be replaced until such time that a suitably sound case is established for the Club to revert to yacht ownership. In the meantime, the Club's resources for Club Sailing will be directed towards yacht charters for Club events and to organised Club sailing weekends. Such weekends will be arranged so that yacht owning members could make their yachts available to other members to gain crewing opportunities. Dates and details of the Club Sailing weekends will be announced in due course.

To facilitate yacht owning Club members inviting crew from within the Club, a "Crew Register" section is included in the Members' Area of this website. Club Members, who wish it be known that they are available as crew for Club Sailing or any other sailing activities, are encouraged to contact Martin Alexander to have their details included in this "Crew Register"

Also, Members are encouraged to make use of Impian , a 2004 Bavaria 38, of Lioness, a 1989 Jeanneau Sun Charm and and also of Ocean Sovereign which are operated commercially by Club Members Jeremy Donne, Adrian Anstey and Nigel Collingwood respectively. Details for chartering these yachts are to be found on the respective Members' Notices in the Members' Area of this website.
