Cardiff Yacht Club

The Cardiff Yacht Club (CYC) is a yacht club in Butetown, Cardiff, South Wales.

History

Cardiff Yacht Club was founded in 1900 with the club meeting in the Avondale Hotel, Clarence Road, Butetown. The old clubhouse was built by members from a prefabricated building in 1958 and extended in 1981. The new clubhouse was opened in 2001 and is currently up and running. The CYC has a new slipway and hoist which are ready to go. This operation was organised and mainly buillt by members. The club is a freeholder of 2.4 acres of land and has a covenant for 40 years which stops it from trading for profit [ [http://www.cardiffyachtclub.org/cyc_pages/about_us.htm Probably the friendliest yacht club in the Bristol channel] ] .

ailing Successes

The Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, presented silver cups to the winners of the races held at the annual reviews and regattas. These cups are currently in the safe keeping of the Cardiff County Council.

Chandlery
