During weekends, a launch service is provided for Members and Royal Thames
members. The Club also has a limited number of short term and permanent
moorings. Four pontoon moorings lie on the Medina River adjacent to the
Whitegates Yard. Royal London berths occupy the up-river end of a long
pontoon that is also used by the RYS and RTYC. The outer face of the
pontoon may also be used without cost by members wearing the Club burgee in
this case for periods of up to 14 days. Longer periods, for which a fee is
charged, may be negotiated with the Secretary. A fee is also charged for
the inner berths, on a season or for shorter periods. We have exclusive use
of the Northern inner section of the Trinity Landing in front of the Club.
This is on a first come, first served basis with a maximum stay of 24
hours. The Club burgee must be worn.
The General Committee reviews mooring fees annually. Special arrangements
apply to Cowes Week period - a ballot is arranged. The Clubhouse provides
showers, limited drying space and lockers.
Club accommodation is spread over four floors. The ground floor includes
the Lower Bar and the Dining Room. The Drawing Room occupies the front of
the first floor and includes the balcony with perhaps the best view in
Cowes. The first floor also contains main toilet facilities, showers and a
drying room. A corridor, used as a Photographic Gallery, connects the
London Room, the external Quarter Deck and an enclosed lawn. The first
floor also provides access to the Secretary’s Office. Seven twin
bedrooms and two single rooms, together with associated bathroom and toilet
facilities, are situated on the third and fourth floors.
The Club launch, call sign ‘London Launch’ on Channel 37, operates at
weekends throughout the season and at other times as required.
