Speedbird Offshore Yacht Club
The fleet

Two yachts, both yours

Owned by the members who sail them, and kept on the River Hamble all year round.

Both boats lie at Mercury Yacht Harbour on the River Hamble, and you can step straight aboard from the shore.

Concorde

Bavaria 36 · in service since 2003

Speedbird

Bavaria C38 · the club's newest yacht

Kitted out and easy to sail

Concorde is coded to Marine & Coastguard Agency standards and Speedbird is maintained to the same standard, which suits them to everything from a day sail to an offshore passage. Each has three double cabins plus two single berths in the saloon, sleeping eight, though we normally sail with six for a day and five staying aboard overnight. They are deliberately kept easy to handle, so a small crew can manage comfortably.

Where they are

Both yachts are kept at Mercury Yacht Harbour on the Hamble, a few minutes from the M27. Members can see live positions on the club boat positions page.

You don't need to find crew or a skipper. Trips are organised year-round by our skippers and you simply sign up for the ones you fancy. Once you are signed off to skipper, you can take a boat out yourself.

Two boats, no ownership

Come aboard

Sail both yachts as often as you like, without a berth to pay for or a winter to worry about.
