RBYC Review of the Year (03 Nov 2026)

The RBYC Review of the Year

Join us as we look back on another spectacular year of sailing with the RBYC!

We've sailed the Solent, ventured north to Scotland, headed east to Poland and crossed the channel to Alderney - proving once again that RBYC members are always ready for a new adventure.

Closer to home, we've tested our sailing skills, perfected our sail trim and practised that most essential of sailing techniques - parking the boat without anybody noticing how many attempts it took.

Come along and help us celebrate another brilliant year on the water with the RBYC.

Open to club members and visitors. Free.

26-10 Buoy Hunt (Deposit)

The annual close of the year - the hotly contested annual buoy hunt. Something between orienteering by boat, chess and a game show, sail to as many buoys as you can in the time set aside to score points - with prize giving over dinner and the opportunity to be the winning boat. Last year we had four boats out - lets see if we can make it five this year!

The cost of the charter per person is expected to be around £250 per person, based on a crew of four and a club skipper.

An initial non-refundable deposit of £100.00 is required to secure your place on this trip.
