About Rwyc - The Royal Welsh Yacht Club
The Royal Welsh Yacht Club is the senior yacht club of Wales. It was established in 1847 under the patronage of the Dowager Queen Adelaide, the widow of King William IV.
Rwyc - The Royal Welsh Yacht Club Description
The Royal Patronage was continued by Albert Edward, Prince of Wales whilst only 18 years of age, and confirmed by him when he acceded to the throne as King Edward VII.
The present patron of the Club is His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
The first Commodore of the Club was Henry Paget K. G, the first Marquis of Anglesey, who commanded the cavalry under the Duke of Wellington in the Battle of Waterloo, and who lost his right leg in that battle.
The first Vice-Commodore was Robert Stephenson the famous engineer who, in 1830 with his father George Stephenson, constructed the world’s first passenger railway, running from Liverpool to Manchester.
The first Rear-Commodore was Llewellyn Turner. As a young Attorney of Caernarfon, he was the prime mover in forming the Club in 1847.
The headquarters of the Club are situated in Porth-Yr-Aur (the Golden Gate), built in or around 1284 as the historic West Gate, or Watergate, of the walled Royal Town of Caernarfon – possibly the most unique premises owned by any yacht club and certainly the oldest.

Life on the Menai Strait - we do love contrasting weather
Not to be put off by rain, wind or the cold, and with a small detour into the club instead of the beach...the first Tuesday evening picnic row was held and was a great success.
Er y glaw, gwynt ag oerni, a chyda trip i'r clwb yn lle'r traeth ... cynhaliwyd y rhwyf picnic nos Fawrth cyntaf ac roedd yn llwyddiant fawr.

RWYC Boat Build Off to its new home! Ar ei ffordd i gartref newydd! Our now part built Caledonian Yawl was successfully turned over and transported to its new home last Sunday. It was such a special moment to finally see it 'the right way up' and envisioning it as a rowable/ sailable boat. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the move happen and to the Pritchard family who very kindly allowed us to use their shed for the last 18months. ... On to the next stage of building now.
