Parkstone Yacht Club

Parkstone Yacht Club was established in 1895 and is situated on the North shore of the second largest natural harbour in the world. Poole harbour boasts panoramic views, sandy beaches and clean waters.

In 2018 we moved into our new modern clubhouse, which offers spectacular views and modern bar & restaurant facilities, as well as meeting rooms for conferences or seminars as needed. Our facilities include large changing rooms, 2 male and 2 female for busy events, with plenty of hot water showers to greet sailors at the end of a day's sailing. The Club employs a number of full time Staff to manage the site, including Yard staff to maintain rescue boats and offer a full boat yard service to members. There are on-site chandlers, engineer and sail repairer.

The Club has an active membership of 3000 members, comprising a good balance of dinghy and cruiser owners. Both cruising and racing are actively encouraged for the amateur sailor young and old alike. As a very active club there is an emphasis on everyone volunteering to help deliver it all.

Parkstone Yacht Club regularly hosts Championships and Open meetings for a variety of classes and is renowned for Poole Week which is held each year in August, offering Open Regatta racing for many classes of Dinghy, and co-hosts the biennial Poole Keelboat Regatta for yachts. There is a very active Youth section offering training, racing and includes Youth Week, very active fun days out on the water.
