If you are reading this for the first time, a very warm welcome to the Mylor Yacht Club Cruising Section.

MYC Cruising aims to provide a friendly, relaxed sailing environment for all our Members. There’s no ‘hard sell’ and anyone wanting to join in is made very welcome. Members are free to ‘dip in’ and ‘dip out’ of events as they wish. Each year, a programme of rallies is published early on. These vary from short sails, or weekends away along the coast, to longer trips further afield. Last year (2024), the Helford, Fowey and Isles of Scilly were visited. Historically Brittany and the Channel Islands have been visited, as were popular events such as the Plymouth Fireworks and Fowey Week. This year a return to the Channel Islands is planned. The full programme can be found through the links below.

In addition, this season the Cruising Team are introducing “SailAwaydays” to encourage Member to get out on the water and enjoy their boats more often; details of this exciting initiative can be found below.

Mylor Yacht Club is very aware that some people find it a little daunting to attend an event where most people already seem to know each other; also, there can be concerns are about the destination, the mooring arrangements and a variety of other things. Also, the Club is very aware that on arriving at an event you may like to have someone welcome you and help to get you into the swing of things and to introduce you to other Members. Pre-dinner drinks, a pontoon party, a supper or similar gatherings can greatly help to make you feel ‘welcome aboard’ and to get to know other Members quickly and easily. Mylor sets out to be a really friendly Club and we would not want anybody feeling as though they are on the side-lines.

For everyone new to the Club, or to Cruising, wanting more information on to what goes on at a particular event please get in touch with that Event Organiser or the Cruising Secretary.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on the water!
