Our Story – How it all began

The Bahrain Yacht Club (BYC) was originally founded in 1955, as the Manama Sailing Association by members of the Royal Air Force (RAF).All the club’s dinghies were actually owned by the RAF and the clubhouse was located on the RAF jetty at Gudaibiya. This jetty, during the Second World War, had been taken over by the RAF as a base for Sunderland flying boats and high-speed patrol and rescue launches. However, the RAF’s interest in sailing was not exceptional and soon the Club had more civilian than service members.

The RAF Commanding Officer at the time was so displeased and was determined to have the civilians removed. In 1962 a resolute Australian named Gordon Wheale (the Commercial Manager of Gray Mackenzie in Bahrain) and another expatriate (in charge of Customs) leased a ship called the MV HIDD, which lay listing in the Khorr off Muharraq, from a local merchant called Yusuf Toorani.

The ship was a 150 ton wooden Hulled copper bottomed ex-BAPCO survey ship and it was towed to the small jetty at Mina Salman (before the present harbor was built) where the fuel tanks from the stern area were removed. This area made a nice “snug” bar for the winter, whilst the summer bar was topside, with adequate coolers to slake the thirst of the hard working expatriates. As the boat was moored off the beach, access to the ship was via a draw string pulley on an old snipe hull. The lighting and other power requirements on the ship were provided by a small single cylinder diesel generator.

In the early 60s there were six sailing clubs on the island:

• The HMS Juffair Sailing Club
• The Joint Services Sailing Club
• The Hamala (Army) S.0
• The Zallaq (BAPCO) S.C
• The RAF S.C. (moved to Muharraq)
• The Manama Sailing Association.

With the advent of the Mina Salman port, the Manama Sailing Club had to move (approximately 1964), and went cap in hand back to the RAF who allowed the Club to moor the MV HIDD alongside the RAF jetty. The MV HIDD floated at high tides but sat in a bed of concrete bags at low tide, more or less like a bed to keep it upright. With a high wind and tide the HIDD used to ride over the bed bags and then lie on its side to be pumped out by the resident boy.

The monthly rental for the boat was 100 BD, and when the owner, Toorani refused to sell the boat to the Manama Sailing Club, the members then decided to purchase a former concrete carrying barge, which belonged to Gordon Wheale. It had a roof over the hold and made an ideal clubhouse.

The following years, were somewhat peripatetic for the Manama Sailing Club. When the RAF left Bahrain in 1971, the Government of Bahrain most generously granted the Association the use of the RAF jetty under the condition that the association paid only for the security guards. Soon after, the Mina Salman Port expanded, and the tug/barge headquarters had to move to the Muharraq Causeway, then back across the bay to the RAF jetty where it was moored together with two platforms. There, on 24th April 1972 it quietly sank, carrying the entire bar stocks and fridge to Davy Jones’ locker.

Nonetheless, the Manama Sailing Club was recognized by the Royal Yachting Association on 11th February 1972, much to everyone’s surprise!

Sadly, people watched the reclamation dredging of the harbor get closer and closer until finally the jetty was completely surrounded by sand. Boats could be pulled to the new water’s edge by trolley, but clearly boat-owners couldn’t go on like that forever!

The Committee once again appealed to the Government for a new site. In April 1977, Sitra was chosen with the hope that a channel would be dredged to open water. This fifth move of the Manama Sailing Club was a lot of work for the Committee, members and staff alike. Cabins were bought and assembled and old buildings refurbished.

The sixth and final move was to a superb new site and premises at Ras Hala Umrn al Baidh, when the late Amir Sh. Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, had decreed that the BYC had to stay in the present location and a lease was provided for a period of twenty years.

On the 1st January 1979, the members voted to change the name from the Manama Sailing Association to the Bahrain Yacht Club. It was then, and remains to this day, the premier water sports club in Bahrain.

The Present

Today, the Bahrain Yacht Club is a friendly, inclusive water sports club with active racing, activities and cruising. The emphasis is on fun and friendly interaction, in a beautiful waterfront location.

need clear vision on marina member escorted entry.

Club have no sense of making law, marina area Gurd gives hard time to even one person entering with member on boat,

Does Club expect member to enter for boating on 31ft by himself, does club consider safety and emergency of boating members or they are only bothered to take money, why no regulation are available on this club, why marina area always dirty, fueling jetty if braking causing dangerous situations with no repairs in place, every time new member get selected but it seems he is only bothered bout his buddies or self-stream, clear and set steps , reception and Gurd are marina have no clue stopping even one person to enter for boating with 31ft boat owner.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
