Barbados Cruising Club

13° 4.9′ N · 59° 36.6′ W · approximate

A down-to-earth sailing club almost next door to the Yacht Club on Carlisle Bay, where everyone is welcome, and the organiser of the Mount Gay Round Barbados Race.

Practical

Position is the club from OpenStreetMap (approx). Yachting World (2016) says visitors can eat and drink there, and overseas members (about £50 a year in 2016; verify locally) can use the showers and sailing dinghies; the club then hoped to add moorings and a dinghy dock. Visit Barbados says it organises the Round Barbados Race with Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. and Mount Gay, and the race starts here. Kayaks and paddleboards are on the beach.
