Take a look at our 'new-look' website, https://www.salcombeyc.org.uk with lots of social events being added to the calendar before, during and after the Open Meetings and throughout the year.
New FOR 2022:
- Our bar has had a 'spruce up' with new pumps, a lick of paint and a 'guest' ale is being added to the drinks menu.
- The dining room is currently being updated by Lucy, our Social Media & Marketing Manager; we cannot wait to see the end result - make sure you check it out next time you visit us!
- We've teamed up with the Salcombe Harbour Hotels (The Salcombe Harbour and The Harbour Beach Club) to invite our members to visit the hotels and receive 10% discount on food and drink... both venues have breathtaking views for you to enjoy whilst sipping on your favourite cocktail!
- Model Yacht Racing - This has become a very popular hobby and with new Dragon Flight 95 owners joining in the action, the fleet is growing stronger in numbers all the time! Keep an eye on the SYC website (under the sailing category on the main menu) to find the next meet and, when you're next in Salcombe, grab yourself a cuppa and watch the action from Batson pontoon!
- And finally, the watch-house is currently being painted, inside & out, with new boat racking being installed for the start of the season.
'Wow', I hear you say?! - Yes, that's a lot to take in and very exciting for current, new and old members alike. 2022, here we come!
