Clicked the link but couldn't see anything about a Cornwall yacht club for sale?

Link doesn't get to any reference to a yacht club for sale / my only view is why wouldn't the members buy it, probably because there aren't enough members, which may be why it's for sale...

Looks nice. A lovely part of the world.

That actually looks an interesting business proposition to me! If it goes for that price I'd say it was probably a bargain - it's freehold, has revenue potential from slipway, bar/restaurant, moorings and accommodation plus a riverside home in a fantastic location! 
I'd have a look under the mattress and consider myself, but know I'm not likely to find anything...

Does it mention that the creek is dried out for most of the day?

Think that "for most of the day" is a bit exaggerated innit!!

You would be a bit lonely, it's about 75% second homes, like a ghost town most of the year. When there are people there it's all 4x4's that are incapable of getting past another car on the lanes. Bizarely I can always get my van past tractors on the same roads......
Sorry, bit of a 2nd home owner rant there....

Many happy holidays in Helford River, mostly involving sailing dinghies; Port Navas YC has always been very welcoming. As Savills say, it's privately owned (not really sure why it's called a "club") and, as already pointed out, the area (indeed most of Port Navas) dries at LW. The pontoons will take mostly quite small craft (and, of course, for anything more than a short stop, visiting craft will need to take ground). I hope if continues as it's a welcoming asset in a very beautiful and very "boaty" part of the world but, if it does continue as at present, I suspect the owner will have to work very hard to make a decent profit

Shows the area very well, but I suspect the photo was taken on a low spring tide. You can see most of the boats are quite small, it's no place for a deep draft forty-foot job, but for a small shoal-draft boat that takes ground it's a near approximation to paradise (given a bit more tide).
You can also see that the Port Navas pontoons will only take small boats, and not all that many of them.

It's nice to dream 
The problem at that price it is not a serious business proposition - I doubt if it could make a commercial rate of return.

Thats my local club, too dry to properly flourish. Something like flushing sailing club would be more like it!
