The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club ( RVYC ) is a yacht club located in Vancouver , British Columbia. Royal Vancouver Yacht Club currently operates two marinas, the one at Jericho Beach in English Bay and another in Coal Harbour . The Jericho site includes a clubhouse, two restaurants, and berths enough for 350 as well as a dinghy dock. In 2017 the award-winning Dock Building was completed, designed by Michael Green Architecture , providing offices for the Harbour Master, instruction and amenity space and workshops to maintain boats, sails, and gear. [1] The Coal Harbour site has approximately 350 berths, some with covered moorage, and is the location of the floating restaurant called The Mermaid Inn. [2] The club also has seven offshore stations in BC waters.

The club was founded as the Vancouver Yacht Club in 1903. [3] The club officially became the 'Royal Vancouver Yacht Club' in 1906. J. Kennerly Bryan and his partner Mr. Waterson designed the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club club house in Stanley park (1910). [4] The permanent yacht club located at Jericho Beach was opened 21 years later in 1927. [3] Fred Laughton Townley & Mr. Matheson designed the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club club house on Point Grey Road at Highbury Street in 1926 [5]

In 1940–41, the Royal Canadian Navy Reserves scheme for training yacht club members developed the first central registry system. [6]

In 1970, George A Cran edited 'Annals of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 1903–1970' which was condensed and rewritten from records of G.B. Warren, first historian of the club, and the personal recollections of the members of the History Committee, R.V.Y.C., by Norman Hacking.' The Club Annals provides a history of the RVYC's "founding, granting of the Royal Charter, prominent early yachtsmen, racing contests and trophies, officers of the Club, and a general review of sail and power boat activity for sixty-two years in the waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay, Vancouver, B.C., and Gulf of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada." [7]

In 1986, M. Watson MacCrostie edited 'Annals of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 1971–1985': an updating of the history of Club's members, boats, events and trophies as they appear (or have been amended) in the Year Books, Seabreezes and Annual Reports of the years 1971–1985. The information was taken and rewritten from the records and pictures in the Archives of the Club [8]

In 2003, as part of the Club's centennial celebrations, James P Delgado wrote 'Racers and rovers: 100 years of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.' [9]

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club has a collection of model yachts. 'My Calliope', for example, designed by naval architect Jack Hargrave was donated to the club on 31 May 2012. [10]

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club eco-certifies all 9 of its facilities

Two outstations earn top honours in clean marine bc.

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (RVYC) has certified all of its nine facilities in Georgia Strait Alliance’s award-winning Clean Marine BC program, with all sites receiving commendable four- or five-anchor ratings. The highest rating achievable is that of five anchors. RVYC’s dedication to environmental best practices contributes greatly to reducing the impact of recreational boating on the Strait of Georgia and beyond, and to protecting our cruising waters for future generations.

The Club’s Coal Harbour site, as well as its seven outstations, now join the Jericho main facility in providing members with a commitment to environmentally sustainable operations.

The Clean Marine BC designations, which follow site verification audits, have been awarded to:

Coal Harbour: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Secret Cove Outstation: 5-anchor rating, 2018

Scott Point Outstation: 5-anchor rating, 2018

Alexander Island Outstation: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Cortes Bay Outstation: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Garden Bay Outstation: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Tugboat Island Outstation: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Wigwam Inn Outstation: 4-anchor rating, 2018

Jericho: 4-anchor rating, 2012

Helping to nudge RVYC’s Secret Cove outstation to five anchors include upgrading docks to completely encapsulate foam flotation with high density polyethylene (HDPE); while at Scott Point there is a new boat sewage pumpout station and a greywater recycling system that cleans water from sinks, showers and laundry facilities to repurpose it for flushing toilets. At Tugboat Island, the Club maintains the outstation in a natural parklike state by removing invasive plants, doing beach clean ups, and avoiding toxic chemicals in landscaped areas. At Wigwam Inn, RVYC is in the process of implementing a micro-hydro system to cover the outstation’s electricity requirements.

Chris Barnett, Marine Asset Manager at RVYC, says; “At Coal Harbour, some of the most impactful changes we’ve made include installing an onsite recycling facility that diverts waste to multiple streams, our two boat lifts that use an engineered wash water catchment and a sediment filtration system to collect and separate heavy metals, and our newly converted salt-water pressure washers. But we’ve also included simpler eco-solutions, like offering bicycles for our members to use when in the downtown area and at Jericho Beach, as well as kayaks and bikes at all of our outstations.”

Commodore Alan Stovell says, “Certifying Coal Harbour was a particularly important step in our leadership to protect the coast. It also was the final asset to be certified, so now all of Royal Vancouver Yacht Club’s facilities are environmental boating leaders.”

Christianne Wilhelmson, Executive Director of Georgia Strait Alliance, says; “Royal Vancouver Yacht Club has worked tremendously hard and made the investment necessary to certify all of its facilities to such a high standard. Members of RVYC are part of an organization that is dedicated to keeping our oceans and communities healthy and we congratulate them on their achievement.”

Founded in 1903, RVYC is home to over 465 sailing yachts and 848 power yachts.

About the Clean Marine BC (CMBC) program CMBC is a voluntary environmental recognition program for marinas, harbour authorities, yacht clubs, and boatyards. Launched by Georgia Strait Alliance in 2007, the five-anchor rating program helps boating facilities to improve upon and achieve excellence in environmental best practices.

Certifications are valid for three years, but can be upgraded at any time. There are 29 marinas, yacht clubs, boatyards and wharfs now part of the program, and another 23 facilities have adopted the Clean Marine BC policy and are working towards certification.

About Georgia Strait Alliance Formed in 1990, Georgia Strait Alliance is the only conservation group working to protect and restore the marine environment and promote the sustainability of Georgia Strait, its adjoining waters and communities, www.GeorgiaStrait.org

Vancouver’s Top Yacht Clubs

scott point royal vancouver yacht club

The yacht clubs of days past were snooty, exclusive affairs, where the greatest benefit of membership was the feeling of being accepted by a bunch of other rich folks. Thankfully, times have changed (mostly), and Vancouver’s home to a handful of yacht clubs that offer precisely what you’d hope for: ample cocktails, tanned nautical babes and, when there’s time, a little bit of sailing.

Drunk Sailors There’s no dress code or clubhouse at Tiddly Cove Yacht Club ; casual social events are held at the Maritime Museum or various False Creek pubs. What else would you expect from a club whose name was inspired by a Vancouver Sun comic strip? ( Tiddly , apparently, is British slang for drunk.) 1905 Ogden Ave. From $70/year, plus initiation, from $70.

Serious Sailors West Vancouver Yacht Club has a friendly, community vibe, and it allows non-members to take classes. The club, on Howe Sound, has some of the best sailing equipment in town and a roster of world-class instructors. 5854 Marine Dr., 604-921-7575. From $869/year, plus initiation, from $2,445. Nubile Sailors When they’re not playing beach volleyball, those fit Kits girls are at the Kitsilano Yacht Club . Non-members can pay $18 to join racing and dinner nights on Thursdays, when the patio gets rowdy. 2401 Point Grey Rd., 604-730-1646. From $325/year.

Moneyed Sailors Remember our comment about yacht clubs changing with the times? Not the 106-year-old Royal Vancouver Yacht Club , the Jericho Beach home to Vancouver’s millionaires and their tanned, taut trust-fund daughters. RVYC won’t divulge their membership fees, because presumably, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it. 3811 Point Grey Rd., 604-224-1344.
