Marchwood Yacht Club celebrates its 60th anniversary with six of its founding members present at the occasion

WHEN a few friends decided to establish a yacht club in Marchwood they hoped it would be popular.

And it certainly proved to be, gaining more than 100 members in three weeks.

Now Marchwood Yacht Club has just celebrated its 60th anniversary with six of the remaining founding members present to honour the occasion.

The club was created after the then-Millbrook and Marchwood Parish Council wanted to introduce more activities in the village.

Past commodore Graham Candlish said: “I think after the war people were looking for things to do. It was all little wooden boats then, which were great fun and still are.

“People were looking for a little bit of adventure, and in sailing they could certainly find that.”

The club found a home in a defunct Royal Naval Armament depot at Marchwood which had been built in 1814.

It rented an old ex-Ministry of Defence building near the creek for its first HQ. Its first commodore was Bryan Sexton who was at the recent celebrations for the club’s anniversary along with five other founding members.

The club has grown over the years, purchasing land and buildings at the former naval site including one it turned into an “excellent” clubhouse.

It now has storage for 180 boats and 170 moorings on the river.

Staggeringly Graham reveals that, globally, Marchwood Yacht Club now has 5-600 members.

He said: “It’s gone from strength to strength, and is now one of the largest and most successful clubs in the Solent. But it is still what it always was, a half sailing club and half social club.

“We pride ourselves on being very friendly.”

The club also has a “very active” cadet section for youngsters aged from 8-18, but Graham said they would love to see even more join.

He said: “We don’t charge anything to join, and it really is an excellent thing to get involved in. Sailing is great fun but it also teaches teamwork and gives youngsters really good experience in all sorts of stuff.”

Please allow me to promote my club, we are one of the best on the South Coast ! Currently we have membership vacancies. We prefer candidates who live close enough to take part in our social activities and volunteer help. We are situated (SO40 4AD) on the West bank at the top of Southampton Water, close to the Container and Cruise Ship Port and almost within the New Forest with easy access to M27 & M3. We are non-commercial and own the freehold of our premises which includes Club House, Restaurant, Bar (beer from £2 !), walk ashore pontoons, and Boat Yard (capacity 180, max 40ft). We are well equipped including 14ton Wyse lifting rig, fork truck, HD pressure washer, work boat etc. Our own volunteer workforce is currently constructing a 10m Barge (from sheet metal) equipped with Hiab, winch, and anchoring "spuds" to service our moorings. The Club motto is "if it needs doing, do it !" and so almost all of our works are carried out by Club members (nb we are not a slave labour camp !!). This allows us to keep costs down to a fraction of marina charges. For example : family membership + mooring + Winter storage + launch/recovery for a 10m yacht is £1270. For more information please visit our website www.marchwoodyc.org.uk or send me a PM, I live nearby.

Hi Captain Fantastic, good to hear from you & thanks for your support. We'll look forward to your return ! Hi Tomaret, No one hour is not necessarily too far, it's more about being part of the club rather than treating it as just a cheap marina. Thanks for your interest.  

Really great club, fantastically run and very professional. Very good facilities. I only left as my new boat was a few cm over the 40’ limit

I remember Marchwood as a MOD facility where the Royal Fleet Auxiliary used to dock. This was back when I was a deck officer with the RFA 1978 through to 83. Is that the same place? Lovely location and so convenient for Southampton.

Great club. Went there with the Bavaria Owners Association a couple of years back. I recommend it to others.  

We were members when the Falklands conflict began, seems a very long time ago now. It was a good club then and I'm sure is great now having looked around a couple of years ago. Excellent and interesting location, still looks excellent value!

I used to crew for some friends at Marchwood on their boats, both called Maybee, in the late 80's / early 90's (they were a GK 24 and an Impala) - and I can attest that the Wednesday evening racing in the summer was excellent, along with the weekend races, and the bar could not be faulted re their range of beer (at very reasonable prices).  

Added to my “visit” list ?

Yellow Ballad said: Sounds very similar to NUSC where Captian F and I sail from, once all this settles I may pop down for a visit as we have friends in the Minstead. Too far for me to join though but who if the Wife ever gives in on us moving down South you never know . Click to expand...

I am not a member but have visited the club on a few occasions. I also have friends who were members. It is a great club with a truly wonderful atmospheric club building.

Well, there is a lot of expertise and talent at that club so good to hear the moorings barge is completed  

hi Annie, I am "boatless" at the moment but an experienced inshore racer, 35 minutes away by car (according to Mr Google). Do owners ever require crew for the Wednesday racing ?

Marchwood Weekend Cruise 13th-14th August

The annual weekend cruise to Marchwood Yacht Club took place over the sunny and hot weekend of 13th-14th August. Some participants met up in the club for the 2nd Friday Social on Friday night and turned in that night with no weather worries, as light winds and hot sunshine were forecast.

Marchwood Yacht Club is a small member run club 30nm away from CYC at the top end of Southampton Water, with walk ashore berthing for visitors. It is a very different destination from Solent marinas, with the chance to be ‘up close and personal’ with both cruise and container ships. It affords the opportunity to sail right up Southampton water and with berthing for £15 per night, whatever the size of yacht, and bar prices that are unbelievably cheap, some visitors think they’ve died and gone to Heaven!

With a bit of a jiggle and a juggle we managed to sort out berthing for 19 yachts who all arrived during late morning and afternoon. Sadly, for the first time in the 12 or so years we’ve been running the cruise, we couldn’t accommodate all who wished to come. The winds were light in the early part of the day but picked up mid-morning allowing some to enjoy a good downwind sail.

Hazel, Marchwood’s OOD, was on hand to welcome everyone and assist with berthing. With a normal prevailing westerly wind Marchwood is quite sheltered, but the wind was from the North East and was ‘quite lively’, which didn’t make berthing easy, but with plenty of hands to help everyone was safely moored.  In fact, some of the last yachts in had so much assistance and advice that the in-bound crews ears and indeed the pontoons were in danger of being overloaded!

As we gathered for the pontoon party, right on cue a large cruise ship provided our entertainment by completing her turning manoeuvre just off the pontoons. Some crews were large in number, Crazy had turned into a mini cruise ship for the weekend with eight crew on board.  The ensemble moved up to the clubhouse for dinner, all 48 of us, the most Marchwood has ever had to dine on a rally.  Due to our numbers we could not fit in the club dining room, so Mairi and her family team set up the tables in the main bar area and served a three course meal. She took on the catering function at the club this season, and after two years without a caterer she provided us with a very tasty meal at a tasty price too.

Being moored just across the water from the container port that works 24/7 there is always the possibility of strange noises in the night as ships manoeuvre and indeed there were, some watching at 4am as a large ship was pushed gently onto its berth nearby.

Sunday dawned hot and sunny. Crews that needed to return to Chichester set off as soon as the tide allowed, but with it being big Spring tides, one or two vessels had gracefully sunk into some comforting mud. The cruise ships we had seen leaving the previous evening had been replaced by others that had come in in the early morning. Other crews made a later departure for Portsmouth to join the Eastern Venture cruise.

Thanks to all participants and particularly to our deputies Tim and Beryl Walker who were there way ahead of us and did a super job of helping everyone berth as well as being just helpful and cheery.  It was lovely to share Marchwood with new visitors and old hands alike, thank you all for coming and joining in with the spirit of Marchwood.
