Classic Yacht owners joining a Classic Yacht Club seemed an obvious idea, so The British Classic Yacht Club was formed to bring together owners and enthusiasts and promote the ownership and enjoyment of Classic Yachts throughout the UK and across the world.

 
 
 
 

The UK's premier Annual Classic Yacht Event

The British Classic Yacht Club Regatta
19th - 26th July 2008

Join the BCYC fleet at Cowes to enjoy a fantastic week of sailing and racing in the Solent, a marvellous range of parties, from dockside cocktails to formal dinners (did we say formal?), but especially to loiter aboard lots of lovely classic yachts all moored together at the Cowes Yacht Haven.

This regatta is about the yachts, and as the list of entrants lengthens, so the beauty of the week grows. This year too, moored with the fleet in Cowes, and racing in the Solent, are Mariquita, Mariette, Tuiga and The Lady Anne, some of the world's most beautiful classics.

Welcome to the British Classic Yacht Club!

There are many British designed and built classic yachts around the world, and the Club gives the opportunity for the owners of these yachts to be in touch with many other British classic yacht owners.

OUR AIMS & PURPOSES

Our aim is to promote the ownership and appreciation of classic yachts, not just in the UK, but all over the world.

We seek to expand the pleasures of classic yachting by organising rallies, meets, cruises and regattas locally and nationally.

The BCYC wants to bring together like minded owners and yachts for their mutual interest and enjoyment, thereby broadening owners knowledge of individual yachts within the classic yachting fraternity.

We believe that the BCYC can help to protect, enhance and expand the British fleet of classic yachts. We can do this through increased awareness of the importance of the fleet and the pleasure to be derived from owning, restoring, maintaining and sailing such beautiful craft.
