Club History
Home Page
Situated on the south coast of Devon, Teignmouth enjoys a mild climate ideal for the enjoyment of the sea. As a result the Yacht Club has a long history.
Teignmouth
Corinthian Sailing Club
was formed in 1886.
1891 saw the first clubhouse established at the end of the Pier which
continued in use until 1946 when co-incidentally, and with the influx of
members with 'motor cruisers', the club changed its name to Teign
Corinthian Yacht Club.
Eastcliff Clubhouse
Opened in 1995, TCYC's clubhouse is at the Eastcliff end of Teignmouth seafront, giving panoramic views of the coast - a great place to watch the yacht racing, especially in bad weather! The clubhouse is fully equipped with bar, kitchen, offices, toilets, sound and lighting, and is an excellent venue for a party. The regular club night is Friday.
Coombe Cellars
The Coombe Cellars site was purchased in 1964 and is TCYC's dinghy sailing facility. It is located on the south side of the Teign estuary, next to the Coombe Cellars public house.
There is a clubhouse, dinghy park, slipway and storage. The mild weather allows racing throughout the year, on Saturdays and Sundays, around two hours either side of high tide. The estuary provides several square miles of uncrowded water, and the coastal location provides the extra challenges of tidal flow and rapidly changing weather!
The Club's objective is to provide and facilitate the sport of yachting and boating and also to provide social and other facilities for its members.
