Royal Northumberland Yacht Club is based in Blyth South Harbour in the North East of England. We run a regular programme of races of varying styles on week nights as well as full weekend events. We have a busy calendar of social events, including lively pontoon parties, and occasional educational talks lead by members of the club and external speakers. We are an RYA Training Centre running a full range of theory and practical courses and we also run first aid courses from time to time. Our club house is the HY Tyne III, a Trinity House Light Vessel (LV50) built in 1879.
