join our regular racing on the solent, one of the best sailing areas in the world.
Racing at RLymYC
With one of the most famous sailing areas in the world on our doorstep, the Solent offers an unrivalled backdrop to our racing programme.
Approximately 30 nautical miles long by 5 wide, with all year round and all tide access, the opportunities to race are second to none.
We pride ourselves on the quality, variety and competitiveness of our racing calendar whether for fun and socialising or for the more serious race teams.
Our fleet of committee boats, safety boats and mark laying RIBs provide a professional level of race support. Many of our regular race officers have officiated at international and Olympic level and they also offer coaching for young and old to learn these skills too.
And after the racing is done, a welcoming bar and restaurant to share tales from the racetrack.

“Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!”
“On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.”
“We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!”
“On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!”
“The Burns Night was brilliant! Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success! Everything was perfect!”
“I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.”
