Bay Street,St.Michael,Barbados

Business name : Barbados Yacht Club

Welcome to the Barbados Yacht Club, the first organization formed to promote sailing in Barbados.

We are located on Carlisle Bay, about one mile south of the capital city of Bridgetown within the historic Garrison area. The bay is blessed with steady trade winds, calm waters and excellent beaches.

The Barbados Yacht Club sponsors a yearly racing programme and is a meeting place for its members andvisiting yachtsmen.

The Club offers sailing, dining and recreational facilities including bar and restaurant, boatshed and tennis courts. Our facilities are also used for learn-to-sail instruction by the Barbados Sailing Association.

The “Shot Hall was originally a part of the Bay Plantation which in 1790 consist of 208 acres from Carlisle Bay to Charles Fort.  It is believed that the building was erected around 1810 ­ 1811.

Another resolution dealt with membership matters including fees and  the club year end. A Burgee design was submitted and accepted by the committee, this design was changed in 1991. The Club was officially opened on Friday December 26th 1924 by Sir Charles O’Brien.

Sincere thanks to Mr. Peter Marshall for preparing this presentation of:

Do you mean for a temporary membership while on holiday, or a regular membership?

Both would be helpful to know. Thank you.

Use the same e-mail address if you're asking about joining the club itself. However, if you're visiting and are a member of a sailing club back home, BYC may offer reciprocal privileges. Check here:

http://barbadosyachtclub.com/reciprocal_membership.cfm

There are seasonal, temporary memberships available. As suggested if you contact them they will give you all the information.

There are several types of membership at the BYC, however, for a visitor, one week to cover one or two persons would be $125 BBD. One week to cover a visiting family of four would be $150 BBD.

Thank you all very much for the information.

You're welcome Karen, glad to help.

Reinventing Barbados – the Caribbean island works to welcome back cruisers

• May 13, 2016

For the 50th anniversary of its independce from British rule, the Caribbean island of Barbados is making determined efforts to attract cruisers. Sarah Norbury reports

Barbados is one of the most popular tropical islands on the planet, especially with Britons, who flock to its pristine sandy beaches to relax and enjoy the hot Caribbean sun. This year is the 50th anniversary of its independence from British rule, but the island is sometimes still called Little England.

Prosperous, with low crime, it’s a gentle introduction to the West Indies. For sailors the living is easy. Fresh fruit and veg cost very little in the colourful markets and the street food loved by locals is fresh and filling. There are 1,200 ‘rum shops’ (small bars) and the people are famously friendly.

Lying 98 miles east of the Caribbean chain, this is the nearest landfall for yachts crossing the Atlantic from the Canaries or Cape Verdes. Why, then, do many yachts swerve past beautiful Barbados and head for Saint Lucia, Antigua or Grenada instead?

The simple answer is that yacht crews who would previously have been content to lie at anchor started to seek marinas where they could plug in electrical devices, walk ashore to showers and shops, and rest at night untroubled by the Atlantic swell.

Other islands were quick to respond by installing pontoons and moorings, leaving Barbados behind. As far back as 1989 Jimmy Cornell cited lack of yacht facilities when he moved the ARC rally finish away from Barbados, a bitter blow for the island and a boost for the new venue, Saint Lucia.

Something must be done

The government and yachting community, remembering the days when hundreds of visiting yachts dotted Carlisle Bay, the island’s main anchorage, knew that something had to be done. Inspired into action, their aim is nothing less than to reinstate Barbados as the Caribbean’s most popular first port of call.

Eager to get the message out to yachtsmen, the tourism authority invited us to look at the work in progress. They’re not hanging about. Building is in full swing at the Shallow Draught dock on the outskirts of the capital, Bridgetown, where there will soon be 40 fully serviced yacht berths. The dock might be renamed to avoid confusion as it is only shallow for ships – in yacht terms it’s plenty deep enough.

The Shallow Draught will also be home to a brand new Customs and Immigration building especially for yachts, proof that the government has taken heed of a major gripe. The current situation where yachts have to negotiate Bridgetown’s huge cruise-ship port to find Customs and Immigration, then struggle to moor on a ship-size dock and visit multiple offices filling in similar paperwork will soon be a thing of the past.

The Careenage, Bridgetown, Barbados

Work began in 2013 to upgrade the inner basin, known as the Careenage, in the picturesque centre of Bridgetown beyond a lifting bridge. Now it’s finished, the 50 stern-to moorings all have water and electricity. Surrounded by the sounds of the city – which in Barbados includes whistling tree-frogs – it’s a great base for forays out to food markets, restaurants and the beach.

I spotted a British-flagged Bavaria 44 and got chatting with the Thornton family who had arrived from the Cape Verdes a couple of weeks previously. It was their first time in the Caribbean and they had already fallen in love with Barbados and its people. They were enjoying the atmosphere of the capital with its quaint waterside cafés, big sportsfishing boats showing off their spoils, and the historic Garrison area and Screwdock, which are a UNESCO world heritage site.

British family in a Bavaria 44, Careenage

Somewhat inconveniently, there’s a minimum stay of three nights at the Careenage, and you have to give five or six hours’ notice to get the bridge lifted. If you want to transit at the weekend you need to call or email the office on Friday. This is something the authorities may feel the need to address. In the meantime Tonya Seale-John who oversees the Careenage is keen to spread the word that the new berths are ready and waiting for visiting yachts.

Private ports

So Barbados can now boast 90 public berths, many of them available for visitors. In addition there are two private marina/residential developments about 14 miles north of Bridgetown. At brand new Port Ferdinand the 126 berths are mostly allocated to the luxurious apartments that rise imposingly beside the dock.

Its restaurant 13°/59° is one of the best on the island. While I was there a number of large yachts were anchored off, their owners coming in for cocktails at the Quarterdeck Bar beside the opulently appointed pool.

Port St Charles is the island’s other port of entry, with fuel and docking. Berths tend to be taken by superyachts while smaller boats anchor in the bay. There’s a dinghy dock giving easy access to a bar-restaurant that’s a popular for sundowners.

If you’re prepared to anchor

The island’s main anchorage is Carlisle Bay near Bridgetown. As a first taste of the Caribbean this stopover is hard to beat. Imagine dropping the hook in crystal clear water in a turquoise bay teeming with turtles and tropical fish. Some early mornings you’ll even see racehorses being exercised in the sea. Take the tender and pull it up on the hot white sand of Browne’s Beach and sip rum punch in a rickety bar under the cool of a palm tree.

Anchorage in Carlisle Bay

The boatyard mentioned in older guides is now a beach resort that charges for landings by tender, redeemable against food and drink. But from your spot in Carlisle Bay the Careenage is not far and it’s free to leave the dinghy while you shop.

The island’s two yacht clubs are both on the bay. Barbados Yacht Club offers a week’s free membership to crew from any sailing club in the world, giving access to its grand Colonial clubhouse. Staff and members go out of their way to help, advising on how to get jobs done and providing poste restante for spare parts. There’s a beach bar and restaurant, showers, and you can fill up with water using the club’s shore-to-boat hose.

Barbados Yacht Club

The Barbados Cruising Club , almost next door, is a down-to-earth place where everyone is welcome. Adults and youngsters mess around on kayaks and paddle-boards. Visitors can eat and drink there, and if you take overseas membership, around £50 a year, you can use the showers and sailing dinghies. The club hopes to offer moorings and a dinghy dock in the future.

Regattas and races

Besides new infrastructure and a friendly welcome, the island is focusing on hosting regattas and world championships. Peter Gilkes, one of the prime movers in the initiative, explained that international events bring new sailors as well as raising the country’s profile in the press.

The Mount Gay Round Barbados Race Series is going from strength to strength. In January the tourism authority-sponsored trimaran Ms Barbados thrilled spectators when she beat fellow MOD70 Phaedo in a record-breaking duel round the island. In March more than 100 GP14 dinghies will arrive for their world championship and next year the Yacht Club will host the huge Finn Masters event.

And there’s more. A big marina development in the pipeline could bring 120 more berths into central Bridgetown.

I noted huge enthusiasm among the island’s sailors to encourage more visiting yachts. Marine surveyor Martin Smyth of Crawford & Massiah Associates says that Barbados has an excellent record of being missed by hurricanes, and if the country had more hard standing it could rival other islands that do a roaring trade in haul-out and storage during the hurricane season.

Sailing in the warm waters of Barbados in a constant strong breeze is an experience everyone should try if they have the opportunity. In January I flew, almost literally, at over 30 knots on Ms Barbados , one of the fastest boats in the world, the warm spray hitting my face like bullets as we powered up and down the west coast, crew constantly trimming for speed.

More boats to Barbados

Between gusts her owner Tony Lawson, a British construction magnate with long-time links to the island, told me: “We’re neck and neck with Phaedo after four epics including the Fastnet and RORC Transatlantic, but the Round Barbados was the one I was desperate to win. We want to bring more boats to Barbados, it’s perfect for sailing, the sun’s hot, the beer’s cold and the wind always blows.”

It seems Jimmy Cornell would agree. More than 20 years after he took the ARC away from Barbados, the improved facilities have passed muster and last December he brought his Atlantic Odyssey rally to a finish in Barbados.

Four Cornell rallies will culminate there in the 2016/17 season, including the Barbados 50 Odyssey set to be a highlight of the 50th Anniversary year, bringing 50 yachts from London and Lanzarote to the island in time for the big day on 30 November.

It should be quite a party!

The Barbados Cruising Club (BCC) is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to create a place for all people in Barbados to enjoy sailing, water sports and the beach. Its membership is open to all, and it is run by a committee of volunteers.

It was founded by Ian Gale, of The Barbados Advocate newspaper, in October 1957. It was founded in response to restrictive membership practices at the neighbouring Barbados Yacht Club. Founding members included a Who’s Who of Bajan society, most notably the Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, who led Barbados to independence from Britain after completing his term as the first club treasurer in 1966, becoming the island’s first Prime Minister.

The Club is located on Pebbles Beach in Carlisle Bay, on the beachfront, which was once part of the hugely popular Barbados Aquatic Club (now the Radisson Hotel).

Because of the great sailing conditions, beautiful beaches and crystal blue waters, yachting, sailing and watersports are steadily becoming mainstream in Barbados, especially with the Club’s introduction of the annual Barbados Sailing Week with the Round Barbados annual sailing race that attracts competitors from all over the world.

The Cruising Club is now a lively south coast community with regular beach activities, sailing and social events. Although our decor has changed and our facilities have been improved, the core values and aims of the Club remain the same. We are an inclusive Club that has not refused membership to any applicant. We recognise the special place that Errol Barrow holds in our history through the names “Dippers” and “the Skipper”, his nicknames, and by hosting The Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race on Errol Barrow Day on January 21st each year.

With a vibrant new Committee elected in November 2019, the Club is dealing effectively with the many challenges of the last three years, including the unexpected and damaging COVID-19 global pandemic. We look forward to further growth and stability in the future and to serving our members with our trade-mark-friendly excellence.

Ahoy There!

The Catalina Island Yacht Club is one of the oldest and most unique yacht clubs in Southern California, with a history rich in the lore and tradition of the Island.

In 1893, the Banning brothers, original owners of the Island, formed the first yacht club on the Island, the Catalina Yacht Club, primarily for the use of Islanders like themselves. For reasons unknown, the Club failed, and it was a decade later, in 1903, that boating residents of the Island attempted another organizing effort; this time founding the Sophia Yacht Club on the approximate site of the present Club. SYC’s purpose was to provide a dinghy landing and gathering point for boat owners, and the Club was apparently quite active until the great fire of 1915, which razed the town and its bayside facilities.

Fortunately, the Sophia Yacht Club pilings were spared, and for several years, the area was used as a temporary mooring site for boat repairs and as a primitive dinghy landing. Then, in 1924, Tuna Club members Art Sanger and James Jump, yielding to the imploring of their wives, decided that the Island needed a social club to complement the Tuna Club’s emphasis on sport and trophy fishing. They turned up thirty yachtsmen willing to pay the $100 initiation fee and dues, plus $400 on a promissory note, for improved marital relations with their hitherto neglected wives. Hollywood legends became frequent members of the Club. These included James Cagney, Johnny Weismuller, Darryl F. Zanuck, Walter Huston, Tom Mix, world famous violinist Jascha Heifetz and many more.

Catalina Island Yacht Club has plaques to recognize Hollywood Stars that were Members of the Club. In addition to names above Ed McMahon, Steve Skinner, & Milton “Shorty” Rogers were Members. Ed was most famous as Johnny Carson’s side kick and announcer on The Tonight Show. Steve produced 1,000 hits including the ABC News. Shorty was one of the principal creators of West Coast Jazz. George Schlatter was a member and a longtime producer in Hollywood.  One of his many major hits was “Laugh In”.

On August 24, 1924, the Catalina Island Yacht Club held its first Opening Day in its newly completed clubhouse, under the leadership of Commodore Jump. The Club has operated continuously ever since, except for a brief period during the war years of 1942-45, when it was occupied by the Merchant Marine and used as a training facility. The Club was returned to its Membership in late 1945. The Club presently numbers approximately 180 Members, many of whom own moorings in Avalon Harbor. There is an active year-round social calendar, with emphasis on the Cruising Season from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Club is a member in good standing of the Southern California Yachting Association, and the Southern California Cruiser Association.
