RRYC was founded in 1936 in Irvington, Virginia, to serve the interests of local pleasure boat owners. Together the first members acquired the present property on Carter s Creek off the Rappahannock River, just down King Carter Drive from Tide s Inn. In those early days, annual regattas featured races for both power and sail boats. By the end of World War II, however, onedesign sailboat racing began to predominate regattas. Hamptons, Snipes, Penguins, and Moths were especially popular. In 1941, a new structure was built, which forms the main portion of the present clubhouse. As interest in yachting declined in the 1950s, membership languished and the property was acquired for commercial use as a resort and marina. RRYC members continued to meet in the clubhouse they had built, however.the club was reorganized in 1970 and was able to lease the clubhouse and grounds the following year. By 1976, the membership reclaimed ownership of the property. The next few years saw upgrades to the pier and slips as well as the construction of the swimming pool that serves the club today. By 1983, establishment of the Rappahannock River Sailing Association and the first Rappahannock Cup races sealed the prominence of sailing on the Rappahannock River and its creeks. Since then, RRYC has maintained a strong racing program and an active cruising schedule.
