18 facts about the Royal Yacht Squadron’s colourful history

As the Royal Yacht Squadron celebrates its bicentenary this June, we take a look at its colourful history.

The Isle of Wight’s Royal Yacht Squadron, established 200 years ago, has a colourful history. Here, we detail 18 fascinating Royal Yacht Squadron facts.

• The Royal Yacht Squadron was established on June 1, 1815, at the Thatched House Tavern in St James’s, London W1. Originally named The Yacht Club, it comprised 42 gentlemen members, who agreed to meet twice a year to discuss their mutual interest over dinner
• At first, it was mandatory to own a vessel ‘not under 10 tons’. This was changed to ‘gentlemen actively interested in yachting’ when lightweight construction became more commonplace
• Members’ yachts are awarded the suffix RYS. In 1829, the Admiralty issued a warrant for them to fly what is now the Navy’s White Ensign rather than the merchant Red Ensign displayed by most other UK-registered vessels
• The Yacht Club became ‘Royal’ when the Prince Regent, a member, became George IV in 1820; 13 years later, it was renamed The Royal Yacht Squadron by command of William IV
• New members are proposed by existing members and then have to be voted in
• In the 1970s, the rejection of the Prime Minister, Edward Heath —a successful yachtsman—caused quite a stir and brought the club some adverse publicity
• The Queen is the current patron and The Duke of Edinburgh, the Squadron’s Admiral, continues to be an active participant
• Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, Nelson’s captain at Trafalgar, was among the early Honorary Naval members
• The club’s present home, Cowes Castle, was built in 1539 as part of Henry VIII’s chain of coastal defences
• In 1851, the Squadron invited the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) to produce a challenge to its own fastest yacht. The NYYC’s schooner America won the race and so gave its name to the new trophy—the America’s Cup
• The first official race took place on August 10, 1826
• Only on very rare occasions do the wrought-iron gates of Cowes Castle swing open to admit outsiders
• Despite meeting all the pre-conditions, the tea merchant and unsuccessful America’s Cup contender Sir Thomas Lipton had to wait until his 80th birthday before his request was finally granted. He died two years later
• The first Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the Earl of Yarborough, was a prodigious host, who gave magnificent parties aboard his yacht Falcon and at his home on the Isle of Wight during the Regatta
• Members began publishing accounts of exploratory voyages from the mid 19th century. Lord Brassey’s Sunbeam logged 37,000 miles, but another member, Ben Boyd, was captured and eaten by natives of the Solomon Islands in 1851
• The explorer Capt Scott was a member—the St George’s Cross and crown burgee flown by his ship Terra Nova are displayed at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich
• Members’ yachts went to the Crimea and took part in both World Wars. In the Second World War, the Squadron offered its clubhouse to the Admiralty and the castle became HMS Vectis, suffering damage in the air raids on Cowes, which was targeted for its shipbuilding industry
• French painter Raoul Dufy depicted the Royal Yacht Squadron and its races in several works during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The most famous, Regatta at Cowes, 1934, is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA

From Cowes Roads the yachtsman sees the Squadron Castle as battlements, a round tower, and a flagstaff. Behind the embodied history of the sport of yachting is another history too, for Henry VIII had the castle built in 1539 as a deterrent to the French.

Its former guns are only once known to have been fired in anger, in 1642 during the Civil War. Now its William IV cannon, which once belonged to the Royal Adelaide, fire at five minute intervals to start 4,000 yachtsmen in their races.

From here much more began than racing under sail. It was once believed that the name Cowes came from the two forts or ‘cow castles’ that Henry VIII built at the entrance of the Medina River. John Leland wrote in 1545:

"The two Great Cows that in loud thunder roar, This on the eastern that on the western shore.”

Using stone from Quarr and Beaulieu abbeys, Henry’s Master Mason, Thomas Bertie, who also built Calshot, constructed at West Cowes a semi-circular gun platform commanded by a small, round, two storey tower with two single storey wings.

The platform, the roofs of the tower and wings were pierced for cannon. There were also bows and chests for arrows in the inventory. Sir William D’Avenant, the Poet Laureate who gossip held was the offspring of Shakespeare, was captured in the Channel in 1650, en route for Virginia. He was locked up in the Castle. Buck shows the Castle before the major alterations in 1716, when much of the round tower was demolished. A new wall was built roughly across the centre of the old tower, with a more domestic face to the seaward, decorated with windows.

Further alterations were achieved in the 18th century. The principal remodeling took place after the lease was transferred to the Squadron in 1855. Anthony Salvin, who had worked at Alnwick and Scotney Castles, was given the job of improving the building “replete with every comfort and luxury”.

Salvin made extensive alterations and additions, adding the Platform, a Ballroom for summer use and the Western Tower. The Isle of Wight Observer was critical and thought a local architect would have produced a prettier design. The reporter wrote, after the RYS burgee had been hoisted on the 6th July, 1858:

"Some have compared the front to a monastery and the rear of the building to a nobleman’s mews, while others have declared it, from its irregular appearance, to resemble a discipline establishment".

The Observer goes on: “One might think it had sprung up out of the fumes of the cook‘s stockpot – a perfect olla podrida – a mixture of everything.”

The Squadron bought the Castle and grounds from the Crown in 1917.

There were further developments in the 1920’s, but the main alterations were achieved in 1964, when Prince Philip was Commodore. The Club was able to acquire stone for this work from the demolition of the second East Cowes Castle built by John Nash. The old pine panelled gentlemen’s heads became the Ladies Dining Room and the Balcony was added in “Festival of Britain” style. The corrugated iron platform roof needed constant repair and was replaced in GRP by Ove Arup. The Platform was linked to the Ladies Drawing Room by the Bird Cage in 1988. The Castle has survived because the building has adjusted gracefully to new uses.

The award-winning Pavilion on the Squadron lawn, designed by Sir Thomas Croft to resemble an orangery, was built in 2000. With the benefit of over 20 years of experience, it was re-modelled by a major alteration in 2022/23. Since then, the Haven was constructed in 2006 and the Old Vicarage was acquired in 2019. The Eastern Cow did not survive, the Castle being demolished soon after it was built. All that remains of Henry VIII’s fort on the eastern side of the Medina is the name of the headland - Old Castle Point.

Frequent reference to the Royal Yacht Squadron will be found elsewhere in this work, and under this particular heading no attempt can be made to give anything further than the merest outline of this club’s history.

The Squadron dates from 1815. For some few years prior to that date the pastime of sailing had been growing in favour in the Solent, and a number of visitors were attracted to Cowes every summer to indulge in the sport. It was only natural that these first yachtsmen should ultimately form a club to carry on their sport in an organized fashion, and so we find that a meeting was held at the Thatched House Tavern in St. James’s Street on June 1, 1815, under the presidency of Lord Grantham, when it was decided to form the Yacht Club, which was to consist of men interested in the sailing of yachts in salt water.

The qualification for membership was the ownership of a vessel not under 10 tons, and the original subscription was two guineas, with an entrance fee, afterwards imposed, of three guineas.

In 1817 the Prince Regent became member of the organization, and he was the first of the long list of Royal patrons which have honoured the club. Upon the Prince Regent becoming King in 1820, he consented to give a royal title to the club, and from that date it was known as the Royal Yacht Club – the first yacht club to enjoy that distinction. For some years after the formation of the club but little was done in the way of organized racing; but in the year 1826 a regatta was held, on August 10, at which a gold cup of the value of £100 was competed for. The winner of this, the first cup ever competed for under the auspices of the Royal Yacht Club, was Mr. Joseph Weld’s famous cutter,  Arrow.

In the following year, in addition to cups presented by the club and by the town of Cowes, the regatta was made memorable by the presentation of a cup by King George IV. This was the first royal trophy presented for competition in a yacht race, and was won by Mr. Maxse’s cutter  Miranda.

The club continued to be known as the Royal Yacht Club until the year 1833, when, in July of that year, King William IV, as a mark of approval of an ‘institution of such national utility,’ authorized the name to be altered to that of the Royal Yacht Squadron, the name by which it has ever since been known. His Majesty followed the example set by King George IV, and gave a cup to be competed for every year, and this custom has been observed by the reigning monarch ever since.

Up to the year 1829 there had been several alterations in the flag flown by yachts belonging to the club, but in that year the Admiralty issued a warrant authorizing members to fly the white ensign, and at the same time the white burgee, as we know it to-day, was adopted.

The application of steam power to yachts was viewed with much disfavour in the Squadron in earlier days, and at a meeting held at the Thatched House Tavern in 1827 the following resolution was passed : ‘Resolved that as a material object of this club is to promote seamanship and the improvements of sailing vessels, to which the application of steam-engines is inimical, no vessel propelled by steam shall be admitted into the club, and any member applying a steam-engine to his yacht shall be disqualified thereby and cease to be a member.’ In 1844 this rule was somewhat modified by admitting steam yachts to the club of not less than 100 horse-power, and in 1853 all restrictions in regard to steam were removed.

The present quarters, the Castle, were taken possession of in 1858.

The first Commodore was the Earl of Yarborough, who held the post from 1825 to 1846. He was succeeded by the Marquis of Donegall, who occupied the position for two years, and was in turn succeeded by the Earl of Wilton, who retained the post from 1849 to 1881. In 1882 the office was filled by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, and retained by him until 1901, when, upon becoming King, His Majesty became Admiral, and the Marquis of Ormonde was elected to the Commodoreship.

The Vice-Commodores during the same period have been : The Earl of Belfast, from 1827 to 1844, and afterwards (as the Marquis of Donegall) from 1845 to 1846; Sir Bellingham Graham, Bart., from 1847 to I850 ; C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., from 1851 to 1861; the Marquis of Conyngham, from 1862 to 1875; the Marquis of Londonderry, from 1876 to 1884 ; the Marquis of Ormonde, from 1885 to 1901 ; the Duke of Leeds, 1901 to present day.

The Royal Yacht Squadron has often been referred to as the most exclusive club in the world. Its list of Royal members, past and present, is an imposing one, and includes : H.M. King George IV; H.M. King William IV; H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester; H.M. Queen Victoria; H.R.H. Prince Albert (Prince Consort); H.I.M. Nicholas, Emperor of Russia; H.R.H. Prince Louis de Bourbon; H.I.H. the Grand Duke Constantine; H.M. William III, King of the Netherlands; H.M. Napoleon III; H.M. King Edward VII; H.R.H. the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught; H.R.H. Prince Henri de Bourbon; H.M. Oscar I, King of Norway; H.I.M. William II, German Emperor; H.R.H. Prince Henry of Prussia; H.R.H. Prince Henry of Battenberg; H.R.H. the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin; Prince Ibrahim Halim Pacha; H.M. the King of the Belgians; H.R.H. the Duke of Abruzzi; H.R.H. the Prince of Wales; H.M.

Sights of Barnaul, Altai Krai – what to see in 1 day

Barnaul is a truly amazing Siberian city, the attention to which is increasing every year. The reason for this is its location (the left bank of the Ob River) and the presence of many different attractions. The city has a 300-year history. In September 1937, Barnaul became the capital of the Altai Territory. It was here that the first in Siberia were built:

• pharmacy and medical school;
• the first monument to Viktor Tsoi in Russia.

During the Great Patriotic War, many Russian factories evacuated from the European part of the country found refuge here. It was they who supplied the front with weapons and ammunition. Barnaul became the main supplier of cartridges and bullets. In the 50s, the city became the center of virgin land development.

Modern Barnaul is famous for its museums, libraries, recreation parks, theaters, art galleries, temples, bridges, tourist complexes and recreation centers. There is a library for visually impaired and blind visitors. Despite the natural disasters (flood, earthquake, major fire), revolution, war Barnaul developed, grew and became a beautiful city with a developed infrastructure and a population of over 650,000. It offers tourists the airport, railway, bus station, highways connecting the city with all corners of the country and the Altai Territory.

Pokrovsky Cathedral

• GPS: 53.329567,83.774390

One of the oldest city temples, which is more than 110 years old. The history of the cathedral is quite interesting. It was built on the site of an old wooden church at the expense of parishioners of a rather poor settlement. The cathedral was built in a short time, spending only 6 years on it. Lighting was produced in 1904. The project was made in the neo-Byzantine style. The material that was used in the construction is red brick. The temple is located in the west of the old city and impresses with its grandeur and interior decoration. For painting, oil paints were used, which were applied to dry plaster. The temple survived the time when such structures were destroyed, looted or turned into warehouses. He received a new life in the late 40s, when its restoration began. For many years it was the only cathedral where Christians could come to pray, baptize their children or order a prayer service. At the temple for many years there was a parochial school, it taught everyone to receive education for free. Now it is an active temple, it holds regular divine services here. On the official website you can find out more about the opening hours and services provided.

The architectural monument of the XVIII century belongs to the objects of federal significance. It housed the first pharmacy in the Altai Territory, which provided residents of nearby and remote areas with pharmaceutical products. The building was built of stone and was the second built of this material.

The Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS) is a British yacht club.Its clubhouse is Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. Member yachts are given the suffix RYS to their names, and are permitted (with the appropriate warrant) to wear the White Ensign of the Royal Navy [1] rather than the merchant Red Ensign worn by the majority of other UK registered vessels.

In 1829 the Admiralty issued a warrant to wear what is now the Navy's white ensign. The burgee, in compliment, is differenced with a St George's cross and crown. Lord Yarborough's Falcon led a rally to Cherbourg in 1831. In 1833 the Club became the Royal Yacht Squadron by command of His Majesty King William IV. 1849-1881

Barnaul is a city with a population of about 632 thousand people located in the south of Western Siberia at the confluence of the Barnaulka and the Ob rivers, the administrative center of the Altai Krai.. It was founded as a settlement at the Akinfiy Demidov silver smelting plant in 1730. The blast furnace on the city's coat of arms reminds of those times.

The museum belongs to the oldest sights not only of Barnaul, but also of the entire Altai Territory. Year of foundation - 1823.
