Inside the Royal Yacht Squadron – we get a rare view of this most exclusive club

Sarah Norbury jumps at a rare chance to see inside the Royal Yacht Squadron, that unique and intriguing yacht club at the centre of Cowes, in its 200th anniversary year

The Royal Yacht Squadron’s Castle clubhouse is best known to most sailors as the centre of the action at Cowes Week. Puffs of smoke in the aftermath of the bangs waft across the water towards the fleets of yachts, their crews’ faces pinched with concentration as they plan their beat up the rocky Island shore.

No first-timer to Cowes Week can fail to be awestruck by the Castle. Competitors mill around before their starts, staring at the flags and course-boards, getting a sight down the startline straight into the windows.

Looking is as near as most sailors ever get to this most aristocratic of clubs. Members will repair to the Squadron after racing, taking tea on the lawn, before entering the Castle for cocktails before a party or the fabulous Squadron Ball, but for the rest, the Castle itself, built by Henry VIII to repel the French, is a visual symbol of the club’s exclusivity.

The most prestigious club in Britain, possibly the world, is wreathed in mystique. The only way to join this club of Kings, Lords, Hons and Sirs is to be invited by a member and be subject to a secret ballot. The fact that the membership list reads like Debretts is an indication of most sailors’ chances of being invited.

It’s said that wealthy tea merchant Sir Thomas Lipton was blackballed for being ‘in trade’, which is why his 1898 bid for the America’s Cup was sponsored by the Royal Ulster YC. He was allowed in eventually, but died just two years later so scarcely had time to enjoy the Castle’s delights.

Some accept a blackballing with grace, others kick up a stink, like the owner of a 150-ton schooner who, the story goes, sent a message to the club that he was anchored within close range and would commence shelling unless he received a personal apology from Percy Shelley, son of the famous poet, who had blackballed him.

Flying the white ensign

The appeal of being a member is obvious. Who wouldn’t want to fly the white ensign from their stern? The Squadron is the only yacht club with a Royal Navy warrant to do so, granted in 1829. And who wouldn’t want to walk boldly in to meet and drink with the great and the good?

I asked the current commodore, the Hon Christopher Sharples why, when a number of royal clubs are struggling to find new members, the Squadron has a healthy waiting list. “It’s a very fine club,” he responded. “People enjoy the standards and the tremendous history. Members treat the Castle as a much-loved country home.”

Unknown

RYS commodore, the Hon Christopher Sharples

Originally named The Yacht Club, it was founded on 1 June 1815 by a group of 42 gentleman yachting enthusiasts. Five years later, member King George IV conferred the Royal in the club’s title and in 1833 King William IV renamed the club the Royal Yacht Squadron. Members met in the Thatched House Tavern in St James’s, London, and in Cowes twice a year for dinner.

Today there are 535 members and dinner is served in the magnificent Members’ Dining Room, under the painted gaze of illustrious past admirals and commodores. The room is adorned with silver trophies and scenes of the high seas, and waiters bring course after course from the kitchens and wine cellars below. There are bedrooms for overnight stays, a room for members to keep their ‘mess kit’ or black tie, which is required dress on Saturday nights, and even gun lockers for shooting parties.

But sailing is the club’s raision d’être and neither a title nor a fortune are a guarantee of entry. The club professes that “any gentleman or lady actively interested in yachting” is eligible for nomination.

The Squadron was where yacht racing was born. In the early 1800s the aristocracy came to Cowes to socialise and cruise in their boats. The first races were duels between the yachts of the day, then rules for fleet racing were drawn up. The first club regatta, later to become Cowes Week, was in 1826. For more than a century the reigning monarch would be there to present the King’s or Queen’s trophy.

Some of history’s greatest yachtsmen are on the Squadron’s membership roll: Sir Thomas Sopwith, John Illingworth, Sir Francis Chichester, Sir Alec Rose, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. Ties with the Navy are strong and some of British maritime history’s most famous names have been Squadron members, not least Nelson’s vice-admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy who commanded HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, Admiral Lord Cochrane who was the inspriation for C.S. Forester’s Hornblower novels and Admiral Sir Jeremy Black, captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible during the Falklands War.

The public's more usual view

The public’s more usual view

Perhaps the club is still best known around the world for hosting the race around the Isle of Wight in 1851 won by the schooner America , which took home what became known as the America’s Cup. The Squadron donated the Cup itself in 1851 and mounted a number of challenges to win it back.

More than 160 years later the America’s Cup has still never been won by a British challenger, but now the commodore believes the Royal Yacht Squadron has “the best chance we have ever had” with its sponsorship of Ben Ainslie Racing as official British challenger for the 2017 Cup.

Renewal SA investigates Port River industrial pollution after string of dolphin deaths

Three dolphins swimming underwater

Cameras have been sent through a storm water system that flows into the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary to investigate how arsenic and other heavy metals are leaking into the Port River.

Key points:

  • Renewal SA has sent cameras into a stormwater system at an Adelaide marina
  • It's trying to find out how heavy metals are leaking into the dolphin sanctuary 

A local yacht club says polluted water has been pumped into the dolphin sanctuary for years

The Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron has been calling for action on industrial pollution in the Port River and sanctuary since 2016.

It claims polluted water — containing arsenic, iron, chlorine and other toxins — is being pumped into its Outer Harbor marina through a stormwater drain underneath Coglan Road.

Squadron committee member David Eldridge said fish and dolphins have disappeared from the pool and native rats are turning up dead.

He said the squadron has spent $12,000 on commercial divers to remove two walls of silt build-up near the drain.

"The only time we get any effluent out of that pipe is when it's not raining and someone is pumping effluent into our marina," he said.

David Eldridge stands in front of the Outer Harbor marina.

He said it was good Renewal SA was now "in the picture quite strongly" after a parliamentary committee started to investigate his concerns.

"It's too late for the dolphins that have died but we want to have this marina in pristine condition for the fish, for the dolphins, the native rats and the birds that feed here," Mr Eldridge said.

Sightings of the mammal in the sanctuary have dropped by 30 per cent in the past five years, and not one calf has lived beyond the age of three since 2019.

A dolphin peaking above the water

In a statement, Renewal SA — which owns Coglan Road — said the agency received a report in 2021 that dirty water was being discharged into the Port River by a nearby business.

"That business sits on private land meaning any onus of compliance is the responsibility of that business," a Renewal SA spokeswoman said.

"Port Adelaide Enfield Council and Environment Protection Authority staff visited the business, which subsequently implemented control measures to prevent inadvertent stormwater pollution."

Dolphin Rocket - Port River

But in response to continued pollution entering the marina, Renewal SA said it had employed a stormwater engineer to "map the drain's catchment" and investigate any potential contamination using cameras.

"Evidence of any potential environmental breaches will be referred to the EPA for investigation," the spokeswoman said.

She said Renewal SA may also install a "pollution trap" that would catch any pollutants before they hit the marina.

After years of failed attempts to raise the issue with Renewal SA, the council and the EPA, the squadron decided to make a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the Port River dolphins.

The committee is currently investigating why members of the unique pod continue to die, and will get an interim report to government by next month.

Greens MLC Tammy Franks stands on the Semaphore jetty

Committee members Tammy Franks, Michelle Lensink and Sarah Game visited the marina late last month.

Ms Franks, a Greens MLC, said it had been interesting to see the difference between "what you're told by bureaucrats" and "what is really going on".

"The committee is helping to connect the dots and seeing that no one is taking responsibility — but no one has the ability to take responsibility," she said.

"It seems everything to do with this area is put in the too-hard basket because there's too many authorities involved."

Dolphin activist Mike Bossley estimates there are fewer than 15 Port River natives left, which he believes is about "half of what it used to be".

The council has told the inquiry that one major issue facing the Port River is confusion over which government department, agency or organisation is responsible for the water quality.
