RRYC was founded in 1936 in Irvington, Virginia, to serve the interests of local pleasure boat owners. Together the first members acquired the present property on Carter's Creek off the Rappahannock River, just down King Carter Drive from the Tide's Inn. Today RRYC is a vibrant and active Club enjoying a resurgence in membership and activities, both on and off the water.
Many new fleets and interests of the members have brought our Club into the twenty-first century with burgee flying high.

We raced sail boats yesterday, Garry Hooper was our instructor.Our first time out we won second wind died unable to steer her, so we came in forth. After the races we had a barbeque. We saw people swimming in the bay and in a pool a beautiful kitchen and view to eat on picnic tables and rocking chairs. Oh we are going to do this again soon
