Cowes Corinthian Yacht Club (CCYC) is based in Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. It is a Cowes club with the Solent as its playground and enough tide outside the door to keep crews honest.
Founded in 1952, it has become known for Corinthian racing, Cowes events and a strong local club identity on the Medina.
On the water, Racing tends to be practical, tidal and close-quarters, with Solent marks, harbour traffic and summer regatta weeks all part of the business.
Ashore, The clubhouse gives crews a convenient Cowes base, with local marinas, yards and chandleries nearby.
For visiting sailors, Visiting sailors should make berth plans early during Cowes Week and other Solent events, when the town fills fast.
