The Guernsey Yacht Club extends a warm welcome to all visiting yachtsmen. The
club house is situated near Castle Cornet and is just ten minutes stroll from
the Victoria Marina. The bars are open daily serving lunches and snacks and have
wonderful panoramic views across the harbour mouth and the islands beyond.
The excellent facilities include showers, changing rooms, baby change and
disabled toilets. The club house underwent a major refurbishment in 2001.
The club is expecting one of its busiest seasons ever with over 20 major
events planned including many fleets making a return visit and some new ones.
At the end of May, the Sigma 33 fleet will be taking part in the Guernsey
Regatta. On 9th June, the premier channel Islands event, the Dresdner Challenge
will see 100 yachts taking part. The Melges 24 British Open Championship will
also be held in June and it is
hoped that over 40 from overseas will join the six local yachts. The Farr 40 Class Regatta will be one of the new events, scheduled for 9th -
11th August. This class of yacht is regarded as the hottest around and the event
featuring 20 of the yachts will be a warm up for the World Championships in Cowes two weeks later.
In August, they will hold the JOG Channel Islands Week Regatta which celebrates
their 50th anniversary. Over 120 yachts are expected to participate.
The club is open daily from 1000,serving lunches
and snacks Monday to Saturday.
