WELCOME

Welcome to probably the friendliest yacht club on the South Coast! That is what we are told by our visitors, time and time again.

The Royal Air Force Yacht club is a thriving club with a varied membership of around 750 people from all walks of life, some of whom have been in the forces, but the majority are working in civilian life. We have a wide range of interests in boating from cruising locally to around the world, from racing around the cans to across the Atlantic.

Our club provides a superb base for your sailing activities with easy access to the Hamble River and the Solent’s many varied ports and harbours, as well as to the Channel for those wishing to venture further afield. On land we have an active social life with a wide range of events held throughout the year from casual summer get-togethers to more formal black-tie evenings. The club is proud of its RAF heritage which brings a special ethos to the club built upon the history and achievements of our predecessors.

We sustain a unique culture and an informality which keeps the club a friendly place to meet new friends with an interest in boating and to enjoy their company in special surroundings.
