The name was changed to Ipswich Haven Yacht Club mid way through 2006. We currently have 65 member boats with a good mix of sailing and motor boats. We have had good sailing and social programmes having visited Haven Ports, Walton and Frinton and Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Clubs last Season. Marconi Sailing, St Edmundsbury, The Old Gaffers Association and Shotley Point Yacht Clubs visited our 'works in progress' Clubhouse during the 2007 season. We aim to have more cruises and more adventurous trips in 2008 and the Clubhouse which is now largely complete will host more social events and hopefully more visiting Yachtspersons. We enjoy a good relationship with Ipswich Haven Marina and they have been very helpful in the establishment of the Clubhouse which will be fully opened at Easter when we are expecting several clubs to visit us. We are looking to become affiliated to the RYA when funds allow and would like to play our full part in developing the recreation of boating in the area.  200 Club Winners April Brian Clark- Anduina May Neville Warnes - Castaway June Ivor Pryke - Marivor July Brian Hammett - Avola The next draw will take place on Sat 30th Aug in the Clubhouse Cruising  Barges at dawn IHYC Cruising calendar 2008 August 23-25 Lowestoft September 27-28 Cruise the local rivers October 11 End of season event Bridge-to-bridge fun race and laying-up supper at the Last Anchor Further details and joining instructions two weeks before each event. Title  Caption Bradwell cruise report I believe none of us will easily forget the Bradwell cruise on the weekend 21/22 of June, which unexpectedly turned into a long weekend, with most of us returning to Ipswich on Monday the 23rd. On the the group picture taken on Sunday morning, which does not show what the wind conditions were at the time, we are discussing options to get back to Ipswich. As it turned out only one boat, Bootlegger, braved the force 8 gale and sailed back to Ipswich on Sunday in record time. The rest of us weathered the storm in the marina or went on a hike to St. Peter's chapel. We all found Bradwell to be a very welcoming place to stay at for a couple of days: the 2 sailing clubs were very welcoming, and the Saturday night dinner at the Green Man was excellent. We all very much enjoyed the sail back on Monday , as you can see on the picture below , where Andromeda approaches Harwich Harbour in the early evening as the light faded and the sky showed its typical Suffolk colors. Back in Ipswich we were greeted by the barge line up for the forthcoming weekend race. We are now looking forward to the next IHYC cruise to Titchmarsh and the Walton and Frinton Yacht Club on the weekend 26/27 of July.
