Yacht club
|
A yacht club is a club ostensibly for the owners of yachts but more generally serving as a social club. Yacht clubs are often associated with a particular marina or port.
Organization
Yacht clubs are often organized in faux naval style. The Commodore is usually the senior officer. For most yacht clubs, under the Commodore there are also the Vice Commodore and the Rear Commodore. In a few yacht clubs the Admiral, which is one rank above the Commodore, is the senior officer.
