Port Navas Yacht Club is a friendly members club that welcomes visitors.

Founded in 1958, the Club is part of the picturesque village of Port Navas, set on the beautiful Helford River. From the Club you have access onto The Helford river and out into Falmouth Bay. Or you can go inland down the river to Gweek passing ancient oak forests on the way – but make sure you get the tides right.

The Club welcomes visitors – by boat, by foot and by car.

We have 26 Pontoon berths, 18 creek moorings, 32 beach moorings and racks for small dinghies. Parking is, we are afraid, limited. Where possible, or when the car park is full, please could you park in the village and walk along the charming river front – it’s a three minute walk and good for you!

Visiting boats can use the pontoon, The Club, the shower and the loos.

Our small and quirky Club house serves great value food and drink.

PNYC is managed by Tom and Antonia (Ant) Ellemann.

PNYC RACING

Black Dog

Black Dog, flying under the PNYC burgee, took first place in the IRC South West Championships in Dartmouth at the start of this month and also won the 1st Overall IRC 1 at the Royal Dartmouth Regatta, thereby ending the season in some style. Congratulations to all who sailed on her throughout the season.

SUMMER BERTHS
With our traditional lovely September weather, I just want to gently remind boat owners that the end of the Summer season is 31st October – which is still a while away.  If you are in a position to let me know by email if you:
a) Want a Winter Berth
b) Will be taking the boat away at the end of October
c) Want the same Summer Berth next year

I would be most grateful.  Please email admin@pnyc.co.uk

WINTER BERTHS
We are happy to offer winter berths.
The pontoon always has space during the winter and we can offer a competitive price while allowing you to still use your boat and also work on it between November and next April. We are also happy to offer even cheaper winter beach mooring for boats up to 28ft.

INSIDE STORAGE
Member Ken Hubbard has three lock up garage spaces available at High Cross for anyone wanting to get their boats inside over the winter.  He has two units of 15′ x 22′ and one of 14′ x 20′.  They have electricity available and cost £80 per month. Call Ken on 01326 340515.

Something in the air, tonight.

Definitely a little bit of autumn creeping up on us along with the earlier sunsets, giving a real feeling of something changing. And it is that time of year as we ease ourselves out of the summer routine and I look at changing the summer menu into more seasonal choices.
Although I love cooking and serving my version of Yotam Ottolenghi’s Lamb Shawarma, it is a grabber of time and space, so it will slip quietly away to be replaced with a dish I found last year. This spiced lamb and aubergine fatteh is a rich warming melange of Middle Eastern spices , lamb and aubergine with crispy chickpeas and flatbread, the latter giving its name to the dish.
We are still using produce from our own gardens, with the tail end of summer gluts of courgettes from Nigel, my ever abundant rhubarb and gifts of aubergine and cucumbers from kind customers making their way into various dishes. Look out for fresh Seworgan figs poached with Amaretto on a slice of banana loaf – yum!
We have struggled to maintain our usual supply of spider crab meat this summer so this is probably the last week to sup on a dish of crab linguine with garlic and chilli.  Other dishes will be changed or tweaked over the next couple of weeks and I will post changes as and when the yhappen to the website.
We are open this week from Wednesday to Saturday.
We have tables available all weekend, so please pop in or give us a ring.
Hope to see you all soon
Mike & Nigel and the team.

Batten Down The Hatches

From Friday morning to the end of Sunday we are predicted high winds up to 46 mph with gusts at greater speeds.  We are well protected being out of the Helford River but nevertheless it might be worth checking moorings today to make sure that everything is in good condition.  I will be going down during the weekend just to check on a daily basis.  And please take this high wind warning into consideration when planning any trips on the water over this weekend.

Ladies Loo Totally Titivated

The Ladies loo has had a complete make-over and all that remains is to find the brass “Ladies” sign that I carefully put away in the shed for future use and which is proving increasingly difficult to find.  The unisex loo will now revert back to Men Only.

Regatta Great Success

The Regatta was by all accounts a great success with lovely weather, very competitive racing (I believe there were 18 kayaks racing in one event) the beer tent was drunk dry and Brian Roper gave away the prizes with smiles all around.  Thanks to all those who came and to all those who helped make this another success. There is a huge group of people who provide their time and skills to make it work.
Next year the Regatta is Saturday 1st August from 3pm.
