Club History

Explore the history of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club since its foundation in 1922 at the RLymYC History website here.

The archives of the RLymYC were largely lost in the great flood of 1989 when much of Bath Road and both clubs were inundated. An attempt was made to save them and they languished in a container outside the Club until they were rediscovered. An official Club Archivist was appointed to oversee their preservation.

Your support is help is needed, loan of Historic Club memorabilia, pictures for our exhibition, stories, event support and even sponsorship to help make the events special!
