2022 - The Centenary Year

Celebrating 100 Years of the Royal Lymington Yacht Club

In 2022, the Club will be celebrating 100 years since its foundation in 1922. We are planning a year of celebration: building on our existing successful annual events and including a festive Centenary Regatta Day to get all members on the water in June and a spectacular Centenary Party in September. We hope that our patron, Princess Anne, will be able to visit the Club during 2022.

Key Dates

Saturday 18^th June 2022 – the Centenary Festival – a day for all members to enjoy being on the water together followed by festivities for all the family in the clubhouse (all day event)

Saturday 3^rd September 2022 – the Centenary Ball when we ‘party like it’s 1922’ (evening event)

All our traditional annual events will run as normal throughout the year; their dates will be published closer to the time.

Centenary Logo Competition

We would like you, the members of the Club, to design a logo to celebrate our Centenary, which we will be able to use on all our literature, on our website and social media, on our Centenary clothing and on advertisements to let the wider world know of our achievement.

The competition is open to all Club members of every category.

Entries will be accepted up until 5pm on 19th April 2020.

There are 4 separate age categories (as on 1st January 2020):

• Under 8 (Shipmates)
• 8 to 11
• 12 to 18

Club History Website

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.
