About the NWVYC

The North West Venturers Yacht Club, founded nearly 50 years ago, has always been a 'family' club - more interested in BBQ's on the beach than kevlar sails.

Our aims are to foster good seamanship, improve our skills through ongoing training and 'sailing in company'.

Most weekends during the season the Programme includes a cruise with sociable get togethers at the destinations. Longer cruises give members the opportunity to cruise in company to unfamiliar harbours and anchorages.

The occasional race is more about improving boat handling skills under sail than it is about winning trophies - though we do have a few of those!

Like most sailing clubs, we have a committee comprising the Flag Officers, Club Officers and members. This is supported by a number of sub-committees, each normally headed by an Officer. Between them they arrange all the Club events and have arranged for various sailing goods to be available to club members at reduced prices.

The Club has a dinghy store and trolley, courses on diesel engine maintenance, navigation and seamanship. We also have a Bar open regularly for events, parties, talks and when entertaining guests from other clubs.
