Royal Corinthian Yacht Club
The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club was founded at Erith, Kent in 1872. Over the years,
it operated from a number of locations but finally settled at Burnham-on-Crouch,
Essex where the 'Northern' branch of the Club continues to operate and prosper.
In 1948, the Club established it's 'Southern' branch at Cowes in the present Clubhouse.
The Cowes branch of the Club has over 800 Members. It's position, the style of
the Clubhouse and its grounds set it apart from the other Clubs in Cowes. It is
the favourite spot for relaxing after sailing, and its ambience has also helped
it be successful in attracting visiting yacht clubs and classes.
