Manchester Yacht Club

Our club was founded in 1892, "for the purpose of encouraging yachting." That proud heritage continues today with our fleet of over 300 boats and an active membership. From our location at the entrance to beautiful Manchester Harbor, we welcome cruising yachtsmen and women from all ports as well as racing sailors who enjoy competing in the annual Crocker Race, One Design Weekend events, and PHRF races such as the Patton Bowl and Fall Series.

A shared passion for the sea is what brings us together at the Manchester Yacht Club. I look forward to terrific season on the water in 2025. For any questions or to learn about MYC Membership please contact [email protected]

by Gordon Abbott, Jr. A History of Manchester Yacht Club

By the 1890s Manchester had become the seasonal home to a collection of summer residents who sought to enjoy the seaside pleasures during the hot months of the year. To answer the demands of these new residents for leisure activities, in 1892 a small group of boating enthusiasts established the Manchester Yacht Club.
