History

Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club moved into its first clubhouse in 1997.

The old clubhouse, a group of portable buildings, was purchased by the founders of the club. This together with the active encouragement of Sovereign Harbour Marina Ltd (SHM) who leased a plot of ground for a peppercorn rent enabled the members to erect and furnish the building on its former site east of the main harbour.

In 2001 we were required to move (buildings and all) close to our present site in the North Harbour where we improved and extended the club buildings.

With the support of SHM, negotiations for a permanent home were successfully concluded in December 2004 and, after obtaining detailed planning permission for a purpose built facility, we took up occupation of the new building to coincide with hosting the Sussex Regatta in April 2006.
