The Port Owen Yacht Club is a popular meeting place for yachties and boaters to exchange stories, and to learn about yachting. The club was started informally on my boat Absoluteley in 1984.
The social calendar is varied , which includes regattas as well as land-based social occasions. Membership details can be obtained from the secretary Anthea Calf 022 783 2888.
