National Yacht Club in 2018

The National Yacht Club is a yacht club located in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland.

The club was founded in 1871 as the Kingstown Royal Harbour Boat Club

An active club prior to 1870 operated on the site. It is likely that it was a commercial venture loosely described as a club rather than a club as known today.[1]

  1. ^ Clubs today in the correct usage of the word are not public facilities, but are owned and operated by the members, who control who may or may not be members.
