Historic motor yacht club returns home
We are welcoming the return of a prestigious motor yacht club to Sussex Yacht Club.
Sussex Motor Yacht Club (SMYC), which was founded in 1907, has a colourful history of powerboat racing and early aviation. Past members have included royalty and celebrities such as Rudyard Kipling, Charlie Chaplin and Pink Floyd’s Rick Wright.
Once based here, SMYC moved to Brighton in the late 20th century and has been without a waterside base for the last 25 years.

Ship-shape Sailability
Thank you to everyone who joined Sussex Sailability for a busy morning recently getting everything ship-shape, preparing its specially adapted boats for storage over the winter months.
The hard-working team scrubbed, checked and de-rigged all 15 boats to make sure that everything was all ship-shape ready for next spring, when the charity begins sailing again.
Kevin Headon from Sussex Sailability said, “The autumn months bring a sharp drop in the temperatures of the water and the weather starts to turn. For our sailors, who can’t necessarily move around to keep warm, this makes maintaining body heat very difficult – so we have to reluctantly finish sailing for the year.
