Hello,

We are looking to move our boat to the East Coast. We would also like to join a local club.
I would appreciate it if any one can share their views of the Royal Corinthian, their facilities and social programme.

What would you recommend joining the club and taking a mooring there or joining and taking a swinging mooring outside the marina?

Thank you

Charlie
 
Speak to Rice & Cole's about a mooring. I bought Karouise last summer and as she had been in their yard I put her on one of their moorings for a month or so. Didn't seem expensive and the people there were very helpful.

Cannot comment on the YCs but then I dont belong to any YCs other than having squatters rights with many through my RNSA membership!

Welcome to the East Coast. I'm afraid I can't really help you with the Royal Corinthian as I've only been in there once since I sailed a 12 Sq m Sharpie a few times there in about 1960.

I believe it's a good club, and they have hosted members of our local association.
 
Royal Corinthian will make you very welcome, but the cruising section is not much to be found at the weekend in the bar. The cruising calendar remains quite local with good old favourites each season.
The building is lovely if you like 30s art deco, and there are moorings available usually, especially the larger boats.
I think the cadet section is particularly strong with a variety of classes.
We were members there until llast year, but we have moved upriver, and taken a mooring at Bridgemarsh, so we just weren't using the club facilities.

We held our wedding reception there, and it went off in the most professional manner possible, and the catering is superb.

Highly recommended, but there are a couple of people I would rather avoid, which is entirely normal for any club.
