Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.A yacht club is a sports club specifically related to sailing and yachting. Yacht Clubs are mostly located by the sea, although there are some prestigious ones that have been established at a lake or riverside location, like the Württembergischer Yacht Club in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Many yacht or sailing clubs have either a marina or a delimited section of the beach or shoreline with buoys marking the areas off-limits for swimmers as well as safe offshore anchorages. On shore they also include a perimeter reserved for the exclusive use of the members of the club as well as a clubhouse with attached bar, café or restaurant where members socialize in a pleasant and informal setting. Although the terms Yacht Club and Sailing Club tend to be synonymous, some general differences regarding the recreational use of boats can be broadly outlined. Historically aYacht Club tended to focus on a membership composed of yacht owners. This type of club often was extremely exclusive, attracting the aristocracy or the high class and leaving small boat owners out of the circle.
