Welcome

A warm welcome to the North Fambridge Yacht Club website.
The club is set in a beautiful location approximately 11 miles inland on the River Crouch and comprises of members who keep yachts either at Westwick Marina or on the river moorings.
NFYC is a small but very friendly club with a packed series of races, rallies and social events all the way throughout the year.
The Club was established in 1898 by our founder member Francis B. Cooke who soon established the Essex 17ft Class and won many races in his own dingy Coryphee. The tradition continues today with our active race program, although the yachts are larger and considerably more comfortable! 

The Clubhouse has an interesting history built as part of Brunel’s modular field hospital for the Crimean war and later shipped to Fambridge where it still proudly stands. You can read more about its history on this website.

Fambridge Yacht Havens provides a weekend launch service between the pontoon and river moorings during summer between  07.00 – 18.00. They also will pay the annual club joining fee for new members for the first year.

A note from our commodore
“I would like to welcome you to what I hope will be a very successful 2010 sailing and social programme at NFYC.  We have a number new events this year including an open day on the 26th June, a longer Impatient Trophy  race which reflects the spirit  and intent of the cup  and advanced plans to introduce a new Fambridge One Design gaff rigged dinghy.
Our membership is growing and even includes our first motor vessel.
I truly value your membership and continued support and look forward to seeing you on and off the water throughout the coming year”

Pauline Garman
NFYC Commodore
