Aberaeron yacht club is situated right at the mouth of the river Aeron and entrance to one of the prettiest stone walled harbours in the UK. Nestling between colourful Georgian town houses, the yacht club provides a perfect base to explore the magnificent Cardigan Bay in West Wales -See History.
Here at Aberaeron we can look back at over two hundred years of boat building and sailing, although the days are long gone when the port produced many schooners that travelled world wide, the yacht club still provides sailing, rowing and social activities.
The yacht club offers sailing and rowing events throughout the year. Racing is now mainly in cruisers, racing from 'round the cans' to longer passage races to various ports up and down Cardigan Bay and a not to be missed Irish passage race. The programme starts as soon as the boats are lifted in to when they are craned out in October.
Social activities are varied to say the least, from the Mackerel Fiesta, Welsh Open Tin Bath Regatta, Six Nation rugby lunches, live music in the tented boat yard and well, any excuse to meet fellow sailors and have some fun. This year we celebrate fifty years since the establishment of Aberaeron Yacht Club on 4th March 1961.A special programme of social and sailing events is planned as per the social and sailing calendar via the links below and branded by our celebration logo.
