Welcome to Newbury Yacht Club

Newbury Yacht Club is a club with an ethos of combining sailing and socialising. We’re affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association and are extremely proud to have celebrated our 50th anniversay in 2019.

We hold regular water-based events; sailing in the Solent for our weekend rallies and further afield (usually the West Country or northern France) for our annual cruise. Our fleet is often into double figures, which is a pretty good effort for a landlocked Berkshire sailing club!

We have a variety of winter talks with a water or sailing theme, which are hosted at The Bowlers Arms, Enborne Street, Wash Common, Newbury RG14 6TW.

We also organise a variety of sailing related training for our members, with agenda based on demand.

If you have an interest in leisure boating (either sail or power), own your own boat, are looking to crew on someone else’s boat, or just attend our winter talks, this could be the perfect club to join.

The morning saw eleven boats departing through Hurst Narrows at a more sensible hour than the usual sailing departures, with the fleet staying within sight of each other for the first hour or so.… Read more: Commodore’s Cruise 2026 – Going West
  • Spring Rally 2026 – Yarmouth
    With the sailing season fully underway for 2026, it was time for the Spring Rally, with a two-nighter booked for Yarmouth. When it was time for tea and cakes, the pontoon wasn’t looking like the most appealing location, as the rain decided it wanted to put in an appearance. Fortunately, one of the motor boats in the Club was large enough to host everybody. There were actually some takers for the hot drink options, although Pimms and Bloody Mary’s also featured. The proportions of ingredients used in some of the drinks was slightly unorthodox, and a couple… Read more: Spring Rally 2026 – Yarmouth
  • AGM – Mar 2026
    The 2025-26 Winter Talk series only finished last month, but it was already time to mark the transition to a New Year for the Club, with the AGM. The official business of the day saw the club finances presented, the past year of activities reviewed, and the Committee confirmed for another year. It was also time for a change in leadership, with the outgoing Commodore, Andy Brown, officially ending his tenure. The new Commodore will be confirmed at the next Committee meeting, but nobody will be surprised to see the ‘soon to be former’ Vice Commodore flying… Read more: AGM – Mar 2026
