Royal Dorset Yacht Club

Based in Weymouth, the Royal Dorset Yacht Club was founded by ten local men in a pub in January 1875. The club obtained permission from the Admiralty after three months and were allowed to use the prefix Royal with their name. A succession of Royals have been associated with the club and the current Duke of Edinburgh has been a patron of the club since 1952.
