Wallasey Yacht Club

Wallasey Yacht Club is based in Hope Street, New Brighton, on the Wirral Peninsula, England, near Liverpool.

In 1903 the club fleet consisted of 12 boats: Comet, Constitution, Flora, Hypatia, Ivy, Markab, Mona, Naama, Rita, Dart, Cigarette and Gaunet.

At the time of the name change the club burgee remained a white cross on a blue background, it wasn’t until May 1937 that a red dolphin round a gold trident, based on the Wallasey coat of arms, was added and this design has been used ever since.

The current membership is very keen to see the seabird half rater continue to flourish, and retain all the original design detail.

A number of the boats have required major repair and even rebuilding, and attention to the original construction methods has been painstaking.
