Founded Year

Redclyffe Yacht Club nestles on the west bank of the River Frome at Redcliffe, just half a mile down stream from the old historic port and walled Saxon town of Wareham. It was founded in 1933 and over the years has provided a peaceful haven for all those who enjoy ‘messing about’ on the water. The Clubhouse and pontoons facing the river provide excellent facilities for Members, and visitors are always made very welcome. The river benefits from the Poole double tide and therefore access to the harbour is very good as long as the local tide times and buoyage are observed. The Club organises a full programme of cruising events throughout the season and the social events extend throughout the year. Although the Club is relatively small with a membership of about 230, the members are very active and many Redclyffe boats will be spotted cruising locally and often venture many miles from home.

Many many moons ago, Wareham was a port and lots of goods were delivered and sent along the river to Poole and beyond. Now only sailing boats and the odd cruiser can make it up to the Quay, as well as pleasure boats carrying tourists. The Redcliffe Yacht Club is very close to one of my favourite spots. You can walk along the towpath, or drive to Redcliff and then to the Yacht Club, but in winter a four by would be needed, as the mud is deep. It is probably just about the tiniest Yacht Club in the world, not much more than a lrge shed, although prettier. Boats are moored along the river, in the reeds. The reeds are also home to lots of birds and riverlife which is one of the great reasons to take a trip to Wareham by boat, or to sit with binoculars or telephoto lens'. Beyond the bridge at Wareham Quay, one can hire rowing boats which is great fun I have to say, and many of the homes that back on to the river here have canoes.

Wareham River moorings

Any advice on Environment Agency Wareham mid-river moorings? Previous experience is all in the Thames with a nice (£££) marina pontoon berth. We've now moved down south and are looking to keep costs down now (as no one seems to be buying boats now and I don't want to give the boat away) I figured I'd move the boat down to Wareham. It's a 26 footer so we'll have to use the hoist to launch. I trying to figure out the easiest logistics of using a mid-river mooring such as how big a tender to get, where to launch it, etc without incurring lots of extra cost like tender storage etc. I figured on maybe getting a really tiny inflatable that I can carry from Wareham, out to the river bank where the mooring is (15 mins walk) so I can just paddle across to the boat and then take the cruiser up to Wareham quay to pick up the passengers. Alternatively get a bigger dinghy (4 man) with a 4hp outboard, launch it at Wareham quay (where i can park up the car easily) and take everyone down river to the mooring. Last up, I assume the Wareham river is brackish so need to swap magnesium anodes out for zinc??? Any advice welcome! Cheers, Richard.

I don't know about Whareham or the Frome, except that I bought my boat at Ridge wharf, was dumped in the water in a bit of a hurry (limited time and lots of boats) and was aground in the river before I got the depth sounder working! A kindly passing Moody pulled me off. Depending on where you live, there are reasonably affordable moorings in Portsmouth and Chichester Harbours if you can take the ground. Most of the tidal moorings in Portsmouth are in gloopy mud where a fin would sink in and sit happily  

Moorings are either Wessex Water, Ridge Wharf or Redclyffe Yacht Club. dinghy and car parking at Ridge or Redclyffe. Pleasant location but a long way from the sea - and in the summer traffic issues getting through Wareham.  

• LittleSister

The yacht club at Redcliffe would be a good starting point, I would have thought, for both info/advice about the river, and as a potential place to store/launch your dinghy. I doubt you would need to change your anodes, but again the yacht club would be well placed to advise. I think you would be better off getting a bigger dinghy (perhaps rigid) and keeping it locally, but that's a matter of taste, budget and how much energy and time you have. It's a long time since I've been up there, but my vague recollection is that it is very shallow (and sometimes busy) at Wareham Quay, so you would probably be tidally constrained in getting your boat to it. I doubt it would be very practical leaving crew there to pick up every time you go out.

The Black Crowes out of Yacht Club Festival; show will go on

While the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival is ready to go this weekend, its musical line-up has changed.

In a post made on X, formerly Twitter, Friday morning, the Minnesota Yacht Club announced that The Black Crowes would not be making an appearance at the festival due to a sickness in the band.

The Yacht Club has updated its schedule due to The Black Crowes’ absence.

Due to illness in the band, The Black Crowes will not be appearing at Minnesota Yacht Club this weekend. The band apologizes to their fans for any inconvenience. We wish them a speedy recovery ❤️ Attached is your updated schedules! pic.twitter.com/DjuCg2aVhi — Minnesota Yacht Club Festival (@mnyachtclub) July 18, 2024

The Minnesota Yacht Club Festival is expected to draw 60,000 people to St. Paul despite recent flooding at the riverfront venue.

This is the inaugural year for the music festival, which will hold 19 concerts over two days, featuring big-name stars such as Alanis Morissette, Gwen Stefani and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The shows are happening on two outdoor stages at Harriet Island, but organizers say there is no on-site parking and attendees should park downtown and then walk over the bridge.

Additional information on the festival can be found here .

Review: Minnesota Yacht Club festival ends in rowdy, dopey style with Chili Peppers

A fter a rather meaningful and mellower start on Friday , the Minnesota Yacht Club festival turned more dopey, sweaty, goofy, brawny and wild on Saturday.

For better or worse, Twin Cities music lovers finally got a taste of what major rock festivals are all about.

The highly anticipated, nationally touted inaugural festival continued Saturday on St. Paul's Harriet Island Park with a lineup led by the maybe ultimate '90s party band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who played the same site in 1992 on the second Lollapalooza tour with their famous bassist dressed solely in a diaper.

Flea and his bandmates have cleaned up since then but haven't grown up much. Their rowdy, back-slappy, semi-tawdry spirit seemed to waft through Saturday's festival like the semi-legalized marijuana smoke that was prominent throughout the 10-hour day.

There was way more weed, bouncing beach balls, backward ball caps and mosh pits on Saturday for performers, including the Offspring, Gary Clark Jr., the Hold Steady and Soul Asylum — quite a contrast to Friday's more sophisticated (and less virile) lineup with Alanis Morissette, Gwen Stefani and Joan Jett. There were about a thousand more people, too, as attendance topped out at 35,000.

It really was a tale of two festivals over the two days. The Yacht Club vibe was so festive and kooky on Saturday, even the Offspring came off like a halfway decent band. Yes, two long days in the sun can really mess with people's heads.

Here's a rundown of Saturday's defining moments:

The Minnesotans sure were smart-alecky. "I arrived to the gig in my yacht," Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner said near the start of his band's midafternoon set on the main stage. Lots more yachting quips followed. And then there was Hippo Campus singer Jake Luppen's hello to the crowd: "Thank you for coming. We're the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Both bands got down to serious business when they weren't talking between songs, though, each blending in new songs from albums out this fall alongside older radio hits. Soul Asylum also dropped in a few deeper-cut oldies for the hometown fans alongside "Runaway Train," including "Little Too Clean" and "Bittersweetheart." Hippo Campus had many fans twice the age of its typical crowd singing and clapping along to its most buoyant tunes, including "Way It Goes" and "South."

St. Paul finally got its due from two of the bands. Hippo Campus guitarist Nathan Stocker got on the mic to express their gratitude for the city and specifically the St. Paul Conservatory for the Performing Arts, which he and his bandmates attended and could see from the stage.

The Hold Steady's Edina-reared bandleader Craig Finn could also see the source of many of his songs from the second stage: the Mississippi River. He sang about it in "Stevie Nix" and then paid homage to the smaller Twin City in his still-thrilling band's mellower jam, "We Can Get Together," which he introduced by saying, "Minneapolis is hard to rhyme with, so thank you St. Paul. You have it all."

Finn also had fun with the festival's nautical theme, which tied into his wardrobe choice for the day: a dapper, gentlemanly light-blue suit he bought for the Kentucky Derby: "I'd like to thank them for calling this the Minnesota Yacht Club so I could wear this suit again," he said.

The Chili Peppers' set wasn't the funkiest of the fest. New Orleans' funk and soul band Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue — something of an odd entry in the rock-heavy lineup — went over like a beignet goes with a hangover on the second stage in the afternoon heat. Their hyper-grooving set included fun originals blended with snippets of New Orleans classics like Ernie K-Doe's "Here Come the Girls" and even Green Day's "Brain Stew," all of which they seamlessly and tirelessly mixed together nonstop like a good DJ mixes on two turntables. The real show-stopping moment came when they jubilantly covered Prince's "Let's Go Crazy." Even with all the Minnesota acts on Saturday's bill, there was no better act to honor Minnesota's big chief.

Gary Clark Jr. went against the vibe. While he's put on many shows in town that would've delighted Saturday's crowd, the Texas blues-rocker instead filled the day's penultimate set with a lot of the hazier and more soulful, Curtis Mayfield-tinged tunes from his new record, "JPEG Raw." It was an impressive divergence but was somewhat lost on the crowd. At least until he launched into the older and heavier jam "Bright Lights," and things indeed brightened.

The Chili Peppers were mildly hot. Any fan who caught the Los Angeles rock vets' concert last year at U.S. Bank Stadium was probably overjoyed seeing them outside with excellent acoustics. However, they probably did not appreciate that this set list leaned more heavily on recent tunes, even while 2022′s slow-builder "Eddie" reiterated how great it is having John Frusciante back on guitar.

Appreciation for the improved setting and sound seemed to carry over on the band's end, too. Flea, the band's sometimes-aloof singer Anthony Kiedis and its St. Paul-born drummer Chad Smith good-naturedly and excitedly bounced their way through the 90-minute set and didn't waver as they began to check off some of their many hits later in the last half-hour, starting with "Californication" and then picking up steam with "By the Way" and "Give It Away."

"We're really happy that you're here, and we love to play music for you," Flea said as sweetly as could be at one point.

OK, maybe the dude has grown up. It certainly felt like the Twin Cities grew up as a concert market by the end of the Yacht Club on Saturday, when the festival appeared to run even more smoothly and impressively than Friday, despite a bigger and more ruffian crowd. Here's to next year's voyage.

Intercity Yacht Club Carries a Rich Legacy for Black Boaters

In the heart of Cleveland Metroparks’ 58-mile Emerald Necklace sits Intercity Yacht Club . The gathering space is decorated with plaques of achievement, small knick knacks and IYC memorabilia. The collection of five docks joins Gordon Park on Marginal Road.

The space may be modest, but it has important stories to tell about Cleveland’s nautical history, says Thomas “Rock’’ Adams.

“Boating was something that Black folks wasn’t supposed to be able to enjoy,” Adams says.  “We weren’t supposed to afford it."

Today, however, Intercity is the only predominantly Black-run yacht club in the United States that sits on its own body of water. Founded in 1968, the organization is designed to create an inclusive community of boaters amongst African-Americans and blue-collar workers. 

In the mid ‘60s, James “Slim” Parks, along with other Black boaters, had dreams to make boating inclusive — something one could enjoy regardless of race and class. At the time, Black boaters in Cleveland weren’t allowed to dock their boats at local yacht clubs, nor could they fuel their boats there. Black boaters were forced to travel almost 70 miles from Cleveland to Sandusky to dock their vessels.

Tired of rejection and racism, Parks and an ambitious group petitioned the city of Cleveland for a piece of land to call their own.

After receiving a lease from the city of Cleveland for a location on East 72nd Street, the City moved IYC to the East 55th Street Marina due to safety issues with the dock. Unaware of IYC’s new lease, the State of Ohio was prepared to bulldoze the site. But knowing he had papers coming from the state, Parks was determined to maintain this for Black boaters. Parks parked his car in front of the bulldozer — staying there for days until the lease papers arrived.

What was once an unkempt piece of land — with just an old dock and a ragged bait house — is now a mecca of culture that holds a rich but overlooked history.

Adams smiles over the whirring sound of a boat motor as we slowly leave the dock of Intercity Yacht Club. The air is thick with humidity, and the boat’s wake etches waves in the large body of water. 

“This feels good, don’t it,” Adams asks. 

Adams began coming to Intercity in 2010, after a member of his motorcycle club introduced him to boats. He was amazed to see people who looked like him find joy in the world of boating — a world that’s been inaccurately perceived as only desired by those who are white and rich.

“I was just blown away,” he remembers. “One day I was sitting on a boat, and I said to myself I’ll never be able to afford that. But this place was designed for people just like me.”   

Adams served as Intercity’s commodore — the president of the yacht club — for two years. He now sits on its bridge — also known as the board — as an advisor to the current commodore. He is also commander of the Greater Cleveland Boating Association — where he is only the second Black commander in the organization’s 85-year history.

Intercity was a necessity created to unify and uplift. The club paved a path for boaters who never saw themselves represented in these spaces, says Ryan Weekes, Intercity’s current commodore. 

Weekes is originally from Barbados, where boating is a prominent recreation. But Weekes says although the majority of Barbados’ population is Black, boating and yacht clubs on the Island are predominantly white and elitist. Holding a position, that is deemed as "prestigious and inaccessible" where he comes from, meant the world to him.

“I’ve reached the plateau for [an] Islander,” Weekes says. “Every yacht club across the Caribbean is [majority] white. Black people that are at the marinas are there to wash boats [or] change oil. So [being Intercity Yacht Club’s commodore] is a big accomplishment for me personally.”

Many of the club members share the pride that comes with being a member of Intercity — a pride that goes beyond oneself.

“For me to be here,” says Weekes, "it means a whole lot."
