The club was established 180 years ago
For well over a century, a Merseyside club has stood proudly - but there's still 'so much people don't know about it.' Located on Bedford Road East in Rock Ferry , The Royal Mersey Yacht Club, founded in 1844, has a fascinating history. The club was given its Royal Charter by Queen Victoria, their first patron, during their first year, making it one of the longest established Yacht Clubs in the UK.
'We’re the only club that's actually had a member that's won America's Cup because Vanderbilt was a member and he won in 1903. We had members taking medical supplies to Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War. The history of the club is amazing.' The Royal Mersey Yacht Club today f ocuses on one-design keelboat racing, with fleets of Etchells, Squibs and the iconic Mersey Mylne boat, designed specifically for the club.
