Situated at Instow, North
Devon, England, the Club enjoys spectacular views of
the Taw and Torridge Estuary and out into Bideford
Bay. There are more than four hundred members
sailing: cruisers, day boats, power boats,
catamarans and dinghies.
History
When Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Chichester, Bart., was
appointed as the first Commodore of the Taw and
Torridge Sailing Club in August 1905 the original
Taw and Torridge One-Designs were built locally at a
cost of £24 complete with sails. The club only
became The North Devon Yacht Club after the second
world war. The club buildings used today were
officially opened by Owen Aisher, President of the
RYA, in April 1972.
The full story of the Club’s history can be found in
the publication "I’m On Starboard" and recently a
video tape has been produced. |
