Do you mean for a temporary membership while on holiday, or a regular membership?

Both would be helpful to know. Thank you.

Use the same e-mail address if you're asking about joining the club itself. However, if you're visiting and are a member of a sailing club back home, BYC may offer reciprocal privileges. Check here:

http://barbadosyachtclub.com/reciprocal_membership.cfm

There are seasonal, temporary memberships available. As suggested if you contact them they will give you all the information.

There are several types of membership at the BYC, however, for a visitor, one week to cover one or two persons would be $125 BBD. One week to cover a visiting family of four would be $150 BBD.

Thank you all very much for the information.

You're welcome Karen, glad to help.

Second Resolution

The second resolution was pertinent to membership fees when it was decided upon that for the first year ending September 30th, 1925, fees would be a fixed amount of $12.00 for gentlemen and ladies and their children would be free.

Approval also came for "any gentleman member be entitled to allow the lady members of his family residing under his roof to enjoy the privileges of the club without any additional fee."

Third Resolution

The third resolution considered an agreement between the British Union Oil Company and Captain Bowring for the lease of the property known as Shot Hall. It was later agreed that the agreement should be sent to Mr. Herbert Sealy for careful consideration.

Fourth Resolution

The fourth resolution comprised of a constitution and a set of rules for the club. It was agreed that until a copy of the constitution and rules of both the Royal Bermuda and Royal Jamaica Yacht Clubs had been received for guidance in the preparation of "our constitution the rules of the Savannah Club should govern as near as possible."

Bay Street,St.Michael,Barbados

Business name : Barbados Yacht Club

Welcome to the Barbados Yacht Club, the first organization formed to promote sailing in Barbados.

We are located on Carlisle Bay, about one mile south of the capital city of Bridgetown within the historic Garrison area. The bay is blessed with steady trade winds, calm waters and excellent beaches.

The Barbados Yacht Club sponsors a yearly racing programme and is a meeting place for its members andvisiting yachtsmen.

The Club offers sailing, dining and recreational facilities including bar and restaurant, boatshed and tennis courts. Our facilities are also used for learn-to-sail instruction by the Barbados Sailing Association.

The “Shot Hall was originally a part of the Bay Plantation which in 1790 consist of 208 acres from Carlisle Bay to Charles Fort.  It is believed that the building was erected around 1810 ­ 1811.

Another resolution dealt with membership matters including fees and  the club year end. A Burgee design was submitted and accepted by the committee, this design was changed in 1991. The Club was officially opened on Friday December 26th 1924 by Sir Charles O’Brien.

Sincere thanks to Mr. Peter Marshall for preparing this presentation of:

Reinventing Barbados – the Caribbean island works to welcome back cruisers

• May 13, 2016

For the 50th anniversary of its independce from British rule, the Caribbean island of Barbados is making determined efforts to attract cruisers. Sarah Norbury reports

Photo: Alamy

Barbados is one of the most popular tropical islands on the planet, especially with Britons, who flock to its pristine sandy beaches to relax and enjoy the hot Caribbean sun. This year is the 50th anniversary of its independence from British rule, but the island is sometimes still called Little England.

Prosperous, with low crime, it’s a gentle introduction to the West Indies. For sailors the living is easy. Fresh fruit and veg cost very little in the colourful markets and the street food loved by locals is fresh and filling. There are 1,200 ‘rum shops’ (small bars) and the people are famously friendly.

Lying 98 miles east of the Caribbean chain, this is the nearest landfall for yachts crossing the Atlantic from the Canaries or Cape Verdes. Why, then, do many yachts swerve past beautiful Barbados and head for Saint Lucia, Antigua or Grenada instead?

The simple answer is that yacht crews who would previously have been content to lie at anchor started to seek marinas where they could plug in electrical devices, walk ashore to showers and shops, and rest at night untroubled by the Atlantic swell.

Other islands were quick to respond by installing pontoons and moorings, leaving Barbados behind. As far back as 1989 Jimmy Cornell cited lack of yacht facilities when he moved the ARC rally finish away from Barbados, a bitter blow for the island and a boost for the new venue, Saint Lucia.

Something must be done

The government and yachting community, remembering the days when hundreds of visiting yachts dotted Carlisle Bay, the island’s main anchorage, knew that something had to be done. Inspired into action, their aim is nothing less than to reinstate Barbados as the Caribbean’s most popular first port of call.

Eager to get the message out to yachtsmen, the tourism authority invited us to look at the work in progress. They’re not hanging about. Building is in full swing at the Shallow Draught dock on the outskirts of the capital, Bridgetown, where there will soon be 40 fully serviced yacht berths. The dock might be renamed to avoid confusion as it is only shallow for ships – in yacht terms it’s plenty deep enough.

The Shallow Draught will also be home to a brand new Customs and Immigration building especially for yachts, proof that the government has taken heed of a major gripe. The current situation where yachts have to negotiate Bridgetown’s huge cruise-ship port to find Customs and Immigration, then struggle to moor on a ship-size dock and visit multiple offices filling in similar paperwork will soon be a thing of the past.

The Careenage, Bridgetown, Barbados

Work began in 2013 to upgrade the inner basin, known as the Careenage, in the picturesque centre of Bridgetown beyond a lifting bridge. Now it’s finished, the 50 stern-to moorings all have water and electricity. Surrounded by the sounds of the city – which in Barbados includes whistling tree-frogs – it’s a great base for forays out to food markets, restaurants and the beach.

I spotted a British-flagged Bavaria 44 and got chatting with the Thornton family who had arrived from the Cape Verdes a couple of weeks previously. It was their first time in the Caribbean and they had already fallen in love with Barbados and its people. They were enjoying the atmosphere of the capital with its quaint waterside cafés, big sportsfishing boats showing off their spoils, and the historic Garrison area and Screwdock, which are a UNESCO world heritage site.

British family in a Bavaria 44, Careenage

Somewhat inconveniently, there’s a minimum stay of three nights at the Careenage, and you have to give five or six hours’ notice to get the bridge lifted. If you want to transit at the weekend you need to call or email the office on Friday. This is something the authorities may feel the need to address. In the meantime Tonya Seale-John who oversees the Careenage is keen to spread the word that the new berths are ready and waiting for visiting yachts.

Private ports

So Barbados can now boast 90 public berths, many of them available for visitors. In addition there are two private marina/residential developments about 14 miles north of Bridgetown. At brand new Port Ferdinand the 126 berths are mostly allocated to the luxurious apartments that rise imposingly beside the dock.

Its restaurant 13°/59° is one of the best on the island. While I was there a number of large yachts were anchored off, their owners coming in for cocktails at the Quarterdeck Bar beside the opulently appointed pool.

Port St Charles is the island’s other port of entry, with fuel and docking. Berths tend to be taken by superyachts while smaller boats anchor in the bay. There’s a dinghy dock giving easy access to a bar-restaurant that’s a popular for sundowners.

If you’re prepared to anchor

The island’s main anchorage is Carlisle Bay near Bridgetown. As a first taste of the Caribbean this stopover is hard to beat. Imagine dropping the hook in crystal clear water in a turquoise bay teeming with turtles and tropical fish. Some early mornings you’ll even see racehorses being exercised in the sea. Take the tender and pull it up on the hot white sand of Browne’s Beach and sip rum punch in a rickety bar under the cool of a palm tree.

Anchorage in Carlisle Bay

The boatyard mentioned in older guides is now a beach resort that charges for landings by tender, redeemable against food and drink. But from your spot in Carlisle Bay the Careenage is not far and it’s free to leave the dinghy while you shop.

The island’s two yacht clubs are both on the bay. Barbados Yacht Club offers a week’s free membership to crew from any sailing club in the world, giving access to its grand Colonial clubhouse. Staff and members go out of their way to help, advising on how to get jobs done and providing poste restante for spare parts. There’s a beach bar and restaurant, showers, and you can fill up with water using the club’s shore-to-boat hose.

Barbados Yacht Club

The Barbados Cruising Club , almost next door, is a down-to-earth place where everyone is welcome. Adults and youngsters mess around on kayaks and paddle-boards. Visitors can eat and drink there, and if you take overseas membership, around £50 a year, you can use the showers and sailing dinghies. The club hopes to offer moorings and a dinghy dock in the future.

Regattas and races

Besides new infrastructure and a friendly welcome, the island is focusing on hosting regattas and world championships. Peter Gilkes, one of the prime movers in the initiative, explained that international events bring new sailors as well as raising the country’s profile in the press.

The Mount Gay Round Barbados Race Series is going from strength to strength. In January the tourism authority-sponsored trimaran Ms Barbados thrilled spectators when she beat fellow MOD70 Phaedo in a record-breaking duel round the island. In March more than 100 GP14 dinghies will arrive for their world championship and next year the Yacht Club will host the huge Finn Masters event.

And there’s more. A big marina development in the pipeline could bring 120 more berths into central Bridgetown.

I noted huge enthusiasm among the island’s sailors to encourage more visiting yachts. Marine surveyor Martin Smyth of Crawford & Massiah Associates says that Barbados has an excellent record of being missed by hurricanes, and if the country had more hard standing it could rival other islands that do a roaring trade in haul-out and storage during the hurricane season.

Sailing in the warm waters of Barbados in a constant strong breeze is an experience everyone should try if they have the opportunity. In January I flew, almost literally, at over 30 knots on Ms Barbados , one of the fastest boats in the world, the warm spray hitting my face like bullets as we powered up and down the west coast, crew constantly trimming for speed.

More boats to Barbados

Between gusts her owner Tony Lawson, a British construction magnate with long-time links to the island, told me: “We’re neck and neck with Phaedo after four epics including the Fastnet and RORC Transatlantic, but the Round Barbados was the one I was desperate to win. We want to bring more boats to Barbados, it’s perfect for sailing, the sun’s hot, the beer’s cold and the wind always blows.”

It seems Jimmy Cornell would agree. More than 20 years after he took the ARC away from Barbados, the improved facilities have passed muster and last December he brought his Atlantic Odyssey rally to a finish in Barbados.

Four Cornell rallies will culminate there in the 2016/17 season, including the Barbados 50 Odyssey set to be a highlight of the 50th Anniversary year, bringing 50 yachts from London and Lanzarote to the island in time for the big day on 30 November.

It should be quite a party!

ON THE COVER Peter Thompson, newly elected Commodore of The Barbados Yacht Club Photos by The Barbados Yacht Club and Peter Marshall FOLLOW US ON

Fellow Members,

Allow me to introduce myself to those of you who may not be familiar with me.

At the end of my term on the Barbados Yacht Club’s Management Committee, I served on the Barbados Sailing Association’s committee, eventually rising to the position of President. That experience gave me insight into the standards, processes and procedures of the sport of sailing at the highest level. While in this position we also implemented improved corporate governance standards to the Barbados Sailing Association’s operation.

I joined the Club approximately 20 years ago following my introduction to competitive sailing as racing crew on Countdown, under the capable skippering of Mr. Andrew Burke. I continued competing on Bruggadung II with Messrs. Andrew Burke and Paul Johnson, as well as on Blazin’ with Mr. Peter Burke and on Fadeaway, in the J24 Class, skippered by Mr. Charlie Gloumeau. I have also competed in regattas regionally on a number of other yachts over the last 20+ years.

I am a Fellow of the Barbados Association of Professional Engineers and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados. I am also a member of CPA Canada. I also hold a Diploma in Theology from Codrington College. I am a past Chairman of the Engineers Registration Board of Barbados, and I sat on other Boards and Committees, including TMR Sales & Service Ltd.’s and the Barbados National Standards Institute.

First, let me thank you for electing me and the other members of the Management Committee to serve you for 2024. We look forward to continuing the work of past committees to make our Club a home away from home and a place where you can enjoy our social and competitive activities.

I served on the Barbados Yacht Club’s Management Committee under the stewardship of former Commodore Mr. Christopher Skinner, where I chaired the Sailing sub-committee for three years.

I am in a long-term relationship which has produced one son. I enjoy sailing, golf, photography, and many other interests. I look forward to serving you, our members.

NEWS Barbados Yacht Club celebrates its 100th Anniversary Keithan Laurie Chair, Entertainment Committee

Throughout 2024, the Club will be hosting a range of centenary events to commemorate the formation of the Barbados Yacht Club 100 years ago. The official date of the formation of the Club was August 24th 1924. On that date this year and for the entire year, the Club will be hosting marquee events in honour of this auspicious anniversary. The logo commissioned by the centenary committee is shown to the right, a great representation to mark our centennial year. It was designed by Red Advertising and does a great job of incorporating our Burgee and highlighting our 100 years of sailing history.

BYC kicks off the Centenary Celebrations honoring The Merrymen On Saturday 24th of February the Club will proudly host members of The Merrymen for a Tribute Dinner and Concert. Top Barbadian entertainers including Red Plastic Bag, Biggie Irie, Frank Mosbaurg, Mistah Dale, Mikey Mercer, Edwin Yearwood, Adrian Clarke, John King and Tamara Marshall will perform the top hits of The Merrymen in their honour. The show is being produced by John Roett with the musical support of his All Star Band. The dinner was sold out within a week and sponsors have eagerly agreed to support the effort and to be associated with this important event to recognize the invaluable contribution that the Merrymen have made to the legacy of Caribbean music. During the show our new Commodore, Peter Thompson will present the members of The Merrymen with an award. There may be a few more surprises along the way, so if you have not already purchased tickets for the show and after party you can pick them up from the office. Drinks and snacks will be on offer and the doors open at 7 p.m. for the show which will begin at 8.30 p.m. Access to the courtyard will be available from 8 p.m. DJ Eddy will be in control of the after party, so you can stay for drinks and dancing after the show. Spill over parking as usual will be accommodated at Field Insurance on Chelsea Road and the Barbados Light and Power Car Park. There will be no Last Friday Social this month as it would be eclipsed by this event. Please note the club kitchen and bars will be closed from 3 p.m. to accommodate preparations for this event. In addition to having appearances at the Superbowl, the Ed Sullivan Show, Ontario Place, Royal Albert Hall, O’keefe Centre and many more great Halls, The Merrymen have a long and storied association with the Club, performing here many times including their very last public performance and at our 90th Anniversary celebrations. We are delighted to be able to do this tribute to our very worthy friends and start the Centenary celebrations on such a high note.

NEWS Centenary Lecture to be delivered by Sir Henry in March On Friday March 15th Sir Henry Fraser will deliver a pre luncheon lecture on the History of The Barbados Yacht Club in the clubhouse Ballroom. This lecture will be a precursor to the launch of our official and collectable Centenary Coffee Table Book which is expected in early April and to which Sir Henry was a contributor. Mark your calendars, details on this not-to-be-missed lecture and buffet luncheon will be circulated shortly. A Limited Edition Barbados Yacht Club 100th Anniversary Rum and Rum Punch will also be launched at the Centenary Lecture. Mount Gay is producing 1000 bottles of 100th Anniversary Rum and Rum Punch for the Barbados Yacht Club. The branded rum and rum punch will go on sale from March 15th and will be available exclusively at the club.

Communication Survey coming soon Within the next month we will be sending out a short online survey to understand how best to reach all of our members and keep you informed on issues and events. If you are getting this Bellbuoy, then your contact email is up to date. However, if you know someone who is not receiving member notices or the Bellbuoy via email, please ask them to contact the office or Heather to get themselves updated.

HIGHLIGHTS SAILING

Barbados Sailing Week 2024 by Anne Tindale

Barbados Sailing Week 2024 was held this year in mid-January. The week kicked off with the Junior Dinghy Regatta on Saturday, 13th and Sunday, 14th January. This year saw the introduction of a series of Optimist Green Fleet races very close to shore for sailors in their first year of racing, with competitors as young as 7 years old taking part. At the same time, some of the islands more experienced and talented junior sailors competed in a total of ten races over the two day period. Racing for these youngsters took place much further out in Carlise Bay in three different classes: ILCA 4, O’Pen Skiff and Taz Classes.

Rapajam, skippered by Paul Johnson, took top spot in CSA Racing Class 2 and Dandelion, skippered by Geoffrey Evelyn, placed second. In the J/24 Class, sailing on Saturday only, Bunga Bunga, skippered by Charlie Gloumeau, emerged victorious, with Pheonix, skippered by Greg Webster placing second and Undercover, skippered by 14-year-old Sam Whelan, placing a very well deserved third.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week some of our more experienced sailors did battle in the Radio Controlled Dragon Flite 95 Races at Golden Grove Pond in St Philip. These events were followed by the Coastal Racing Series which was sailed on Thursday, 18th and Saturday, 20th January along the South and West Coasts of the island. Fairly strong winds and relatively high seas made for challenging sailing conditions and exciting competition.The CSA Racing Class 1 was won by Whistler, skippered by Peter Lewis, with Panacea X from Canada placing second and Hultaj from Poland coming third.

On Errol Barrow Day, Saturday, 21st January, a good mix of local and visiting yachts crossed the starting line from as early as 8:00 am to compete in the Mount Gay Rum Round Barbados Race and try to beat the record in their respective classes. Repeating his successes in the Coastal Series, Rapajam, skippered by Paul Johnson, emerged as the overall winner in the CSA Monohull Class with Whistler, skippered by Peter Lewis coming second and Panacea X in third. Mona Marie, skippered by Charles Herbert, came out top of the Non-CSA Class, with Hydro Therapy, skippered by Gregory Cuke, in second. Unfortunately, no records were broken again this year. The curtain came down on this year’s Sailing Week with the Presentation of Prizes for all the events at the Yacht Club on the evening of Monday, 22nd January.

Do you mean for a temporary membership while on holiday, or a regular membership?

Both would be helpful to know. Thank you.

Use the same e-mail address if you're asking about joining the club itself. However, if you're visiting and are a member of a sailing club back home, BYC may offer reciprocal privileges. Check here:

http://barbadosyachtclub.com/reciprocal_membership.cfm

There are seasonal, temporary memberships available. As suggested if you contact them they will give you all the information.

There are several types of membership at the BYC, however, for a visitor, one week to cover one or two persons would be $125 BBD. One week to cover a visiting family of four would be $150 BBD.

Thank you all very much for the information.

You're welcome Karen, glad to help.

Bridgetown, Barbados N 13 05.892 W 59 37.371

Playground of the british rich and famous, and home of rihanna.

Barbados is known for its beautiful beaches, expansive mansions, and lavish parties. There are highly competitive cricket matches and lots of famous inhabitants and visitors, but the facilities for visiting yachts are limited. Nevertheless, Barbados, though technically outside the Caribbean Sea, is one of the closest destinations for yachts crossing the Atlantic for the winter season and worth a visit.

We arrived on the morning of Christmas Eve. How sweet that was to spot land after three weeks at sea.  We pulled out our little Christmas tree, pre-trimmed with lights and ornaments, and put it out on deck as we sat listening to island carols on the local radio and ate the last of our provisions with fresh fruit and vegetables from the street market in Bridgetown. The supermarket was so crowded that we couldn’t get near it. It was like everyone on the island shopped that day.

But the major department stores and boutiques in Bridgetown, a city by island standards, were open and we managed to find small gifts to exchange on Christmas Day. All in all not too bad.
