Green Wyvern Yachting Club

Promoting cruising and ‘Broadsmanship’ on the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads in traditional River Cruiser class yachts. The club is dedicated to organising cruises on the Norfolk Broads and teaching young people from twelve years of age how to sail on traditional broads yachts. We are an RYA Training Centre and run cruises and training over Easter and the Summer.

Each year the club runs cruises both in the summer and at Easter. Each cruise runs for a week Saturday to Saturday with the exception of Week 4 which ends on Friday. It’s a great opportunity to learn to sail a broads cruiser.The RYA Training Centre Logo

Sailing with the GWYC is about much more than just sailing. A Club cruise – where the training takes place – is also a holiday and an adventure. For some of the younger participants, it may well be their first time away from home and is usually their first time aboard a yacht. As members pass through the club, they develop skills and responsibilities, gradually learning to teach others – and feed them – and to take control of the boats for themselves. For more information on RYA training see RYA Training.

Note – you must be at least 12 years old to join the cruise weeks.

The Green Wyvern Yachting Club was founded in 1947 (some say 1946, but the first cruise was Easter 1947) by a pair of brothers who happened to be schoolmasters at separate schools in Leicester. They set out the foundations of a club which has taught generations of young people not only how to sail, but also how to co-exist with other people in a relatively small space through teamwork, tolerance and a good dollop of humour. People who have sailed with ‘The Wyvern’ have made lifelong friendships and come back year after year, seemingly for ever (our oldest active member is in his eighties!).

The club has provided sailing holidays on the Norfolk Broads since its inception, using the basic rules and scale of rank as laid down by Cecil and Bert Howard all those years ago. Initially, young people attend a week by invitation of the sailing secretary. We are an entirely voluntary organisation and wouldn’t be able, or willing, to cope with commercial numbers. However, we are into a recruitment drive at present, so should you feel that you, or your children, would enjoy a week afloat in traditional style then please contact the Secretary at the number given in the first instance. Successful completion of two weeks afloat (not necessarily concurrently) would then lead to election to membership and the freedom to sail without invitation, and access to the great community of Wyverns and the great camaraderie that goes with it.

The boats used are River Cruiser class yachts, typically pre-war wooden boats as seen in Coot Club. They are basic but comfortable, a bit like a scout camp on water.

We are affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and as such we also run training courses to provide RYA qualifications.

It is our belief that the safety of those we sail with is paramount and as such we provide buoyancy aids for all who sail with us. The skippers of the boats will be RYA Qualified Keelboat Instructors or Assistant Instructors and are CRB checked and first aid trained.

For those who enjoy sailing with the club and want to sail again (and again and again, as we did and we hope they will) and become members, we will train them in yachting skills, starting with the basic skills needed to act as crew, through the various modules in the National Sailing Scheme, and up to RYA instructor level, for those who wish to advance that far. See RYA Cruises on our website, for more information on our latest offerings.

We are a volunteer, ‘not for profit’ club so we try to keep the fees as low as possible. The cost of sailing is £160 per person per week, which covers boat hire, insurance and running costs. For those wanting to achieve RYA certification, it also covers an RYA Logbook issued to you during your first cruising week as well as the cost of any certificates issued. If you lose your logbook we will provide a new one at the cost of £5.

There is a separate fee of £40 for food which is payable in cash to the Mate on your boat at the start of your week’s cruise. Note you should bring your own money for miscellaneous drinks and snacks.

Cruise fees are payable to the club in advance of your cruise (see booking forms for payment details). Bookings will be allocated on receipt of either the full payment or a deposit (£60 per week) with the balance to be paid by 11th of March for Easter and 1st of June for Summer – after this day the weekly fee is £180.

Russian stuff blowing up: Moscow yacht club goes up in flames

Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky.

Yachts go up in smoke. Could be sabotage or could be insurance fraud or could be another careless smoker.

Sucks when you can’t even get a moped through with a six-pack of water.

The whole road is about 15 km and you can take dozens of similar photos on it.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
