Part I – Yacht Club de France: History; Location; Racing; Library & Membership

Philippe COURT, Président, Yacht Club de France

The Grande foyer of this highly prestigious club is adorned with trophies, cups, sculptures, paintings and half-hull models (of its members).

HISTORY Yacht Club De France (YCF) was founded in 1867 during the Second French Empire, and according to Maritime Literature is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the world. Admiral Rigault de Genouilly served as the club’s first Président from 1868 to 1870. According to Philippe Court, twelve of the 20 past-Présidents have been Admirals. By tradition, a strong bond unites the Navy and the Yacht Club de France. This relationship extends to marine trade, fishing and salvage values which are fundamental to the Yacht Club de France and its members. The club remains faithful to its mission: “helping the development of recreational boating in all its forms; cruise as race, defending and promoting values of solidarity, courtesy and moral elegance that motivate all seafarers”.

LOCATION Yacht Club De France was formed and established to be close to the “Power” or the “Institutions”. Avenue Foch has the reputation of being the most expensive residential neighborhood in Paris and one of the most expensive addresses in the world, as well as home to many grand palaces, including international ambassadors, Onassis and the Rothschild families and others. In addition to its landlocked Paris headquarters, Yacht Club De France has developed close–ties with yacht clubs located on all coastlines of the hexagon and overseas.

RACING During 1907 Union des Yachts Francais, Société d’Encouragement pour la Navigation de Plaisance and YCF merged and were recognized by the International Sailing Federation.

Apart from the trophies and cup races, YCF organizes the annual prestigious Coupe de France (the elite of the yachting world), the annual Autumn Cup, and together with the Yacht Club Italiano, the Giraglia Cup regatta from Saint Tropez.

The Coupe de France Cup is a beautiful ornate silver trophy, designed by the jeweler of the Place Vendome Cardeilhac

MEMBERSHIP Yacht Club De France is one of the world’s most distinguished and influential yacht clubs. The membership currently has over 500 members, (20% female and 80% male members).

A prospective candidate must have two sponsors in order to obtain membership admission. Ownership of a sailboat, large or small, civil recognition, civic and military, are not part of the election criteria, only a matter of adherence to the values of the club and the desire to “serve” to defend, at sea and ashore. The merit of the application is submitted by the sponsors to be reviewed by the Commission of the Interior, who shall in turn submit to the Council. Distinguished Members include under the high patronage of the President of the Republic

HONORARY CHAIRMEN Minister in charge of the Navy Minister of Merchant Marine

HONORARY MEMBERS HM Queen ELIZABETH II of England HM King Juan Carlos of Spain l HM King Constantin of Greece Il HRH The Duke of Edinburgh HSH Prince Albert II of MONACO HIH the Princess NAPOLEON HRH Prince Consort Henrik of DENMARK

LIBRARY Since its inception, the Yacht Club de France has been and continues to build, collect and preserve prestigious maritime heritage that illustrates the memory, and new maritime adventures of its members. The Heritage Commission is working to highlight these treasures.

Through text, photographs, and illustrations you will find many big names in sailing such as Marin-Marie, Alain Gerbault, Olivier de Kersauson Virginie Heriot, Commander Charcot Montpassant Guy, Eric Tabarly, Damien, the America’s Cup Jules Verne.

Despite the absence of a water body in its vicinity, the Yacht Club de France is one of the most dynamic clubs, offering or sponsoring high-flying regattas, but also events ashore.

“To contribute to the development of recreational boating in all its forms; in cruising or racing, to defend and promote the values of solidarity, courtesy and moral elegance animating all seafarers” . Such has been the vocation of the Yacht Club de France (YCF) since its creation in 1867, under the name “Société d’Encouragement pour la Navigation de Plaisance”, under the high patronage of Napoleon III”. As it was involved in the development of the yachting policy in a national and international framework – which is still its mission today – it was in Paris, where authorities are located, that the club naturally settled by the will of its founders. And despite the absence of a nearby water body to organize nautical events, its dynamism is widely recognised.

In addition to the numerous events, conferences and meetings organised each year in its salons of the 16th arrondissement, the club also encourages a certain number of sea events through its sponsorship. Since the end of the 1950s, it has been building up a circle of allied clubs with the same approach to the sea and its values. Patron of the Tour de France à la Voile since its creation in 1978, the club is also a partner and technical supplier for the next Vendée Globe. Since 2016, it has also been supporting the Dhream Cup / Grand Prix de France, an ocean racing event created by club member Jacques Civilise, which celebrated its third edition last July. Every year, the YCF also organises the Yacht Club de France Autumn Cup, a race for classic yachts from the site of the Regates Royales (Cannes) to the Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez”. The YCF is very active at the national level, but also on the international scene. Last year, it was invited to the Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, organised by the New York Yacht Club, which brings together the 20 most prestigious international yacht clubs.

Its members regularly excel in major international competitions, like the Fastnet that last year saw its crews win in three categories of racing. The club has also recurrently taken up the French challenge for the America’s Cup, France being the only country with the United States to have participated in all editions since 1970. With 500 active members today, the Yacht Club de France has seen some of the most famous navigators sail under its burgee: Jules Verne, Virginie Hériot, Alain Gerbault, Commander Charcot, Guy de Maupassant and Eric Tabarly. Today, it boasted famous personalities including Gérard d’Aboville, Marc P.G.Berthier, Catherine Chabaud, Olivier de Kersauson, Franck Cammas, Michel Desjoyeaux and Jean-Michel Barrault. Note that to become a member of the Yacht Club de France, one must be recommended by two sponsors. Candidates are chosen on merit, based solely on their attachment to the values of the club. Owning a yacht or civil, citizen or military recognitions is irrelevant.

Philippe Heral : “All united in shared passion”

Interview by Jean-Marc Moreno – Photos : Laurent Charpentier / Coll YCF & All rights reserved

A member of the Yacht Club de France since 2005, Philippe Heral has quickly became involved in its institutions. First a member of the Legal Committee, he then joined the Council in 2011, and from 2015 his Bureau as Vice-President for Home Affairs. He was elected president at the Club’s Annual General Meeting on May 23rd, 2018.

What are the specific features of your club ?

The Yacht Club de France was founded in 1867 as a society for the encouragement of pleasure boating at the instigation of Napoleon III, an association recognized as serving the public good by the Decree of July 30, 1914. The Yacht Club de France’s undeniable statutory aim is to contribute to the development of pleasure boating in all its forms.This is certainly its first specificity since its mission goes far beyond the sole interest of its members to serve the cause of all yachtsmen, both nationally and internationally, by its contribution to the development but also to lightening of regulations on the practice of sailing and motor boating.Its second particularity is to be located inland, far from the coast, but to be involved there and offshore through its Allied Clubs – about sixty in France and abroad – and its very active members, be it in itinerant navigation but also in coastal or offshore racing.

How many members do you have?

We have 500 members, like the Royal Yacht Squadron, except that we do not have a numerus clausus and that we continue to develop the club and the diversity of membership by, in particular, rallying a larger number of members. Currently about 8% of them are foreigners, all sharing our passion for the sea and sailing.

What are the key events organized by the YCF?

The Yacht Club de France, at the origin of famous races such as the Giraglia with the Yacht Club Italiano in a fraternal and sporting reconciliation process with Italy in 1952, is present in many renowned nautical events that it sponsors. It is directly involved as an organizing club in some events such as the Coupe d’Automne du Yacht Club de France, a traditional and very popular event between the Régates Royales de Cannes and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez, this year’s Drheam Cup – Grand Prix de France de Course au Large – between Cherbourg and La Trinité-sur-Mer and as a partner in the 2020 Vendée Globe.In addition to participating in many other events at sea, rallies and meetings, it also brings together all year long members and guests ashore around our passion subjects for conferences, themed dinners, site visits and training areas. Finally, the Yacht Club de France has committed to a performance-based approach by creating the Yacht Club de France’s Racing Pole, which aims to bring together talents, to be present on top-level circuits.At the same time, it is actively involved in an approach to implement standard-setting and disseminate guiding principles aimed to encourage the active consideration of the imperatives of protection of our maritime environment.

Your best memory as president?

On a sporting level, it is unquestionably to see so many young people joining the Yacht Club de France to form crews and take part in the most beautiful races. It was also to see three boats manned by “more senior” members win the Fastnet 2019, each in their own category and with such crews.

In your opinion, what are the advantages of a twinning with the Yacht Club de Monaco? How do these take concrete form?

We are happy and proud to be Allied Clubs since the end of the 1980s. This is a very conducive environment for the accomplishment of the missions we share, by our complementarity, our same thirst for excellence, our common requirement to promote naval etiquette and crew spirit. We work closely, within the framework of the International Committee of the Mediterranean, on the development, evolution and update of the tonnage of classic boats. And we are working in the same way on the issues of environmental protection, of which the Yacht Club de Monaco is an undisputed and respected reference.

Yacht Club de France: private visit of a prestigious institution

The Yacht Club de France welcomes its five hundred current members at number 41 on the famous Avenue Foch, in the chic 16th arrondissement of Paris, surprisingly far from any waterfront. A prestigious address, for an institution that is open to all sailing enthusiasts.

For 150 years, in the service of yachting ..

The story begins in the middle of the 19th century. In France, people then discovered sailing for pleasure: the first canoes attracted onlookers to the Seine... Water sports also developed, which it gradually became necessary to organize. Thus, on 15 June 1867, at the Ministry of the Navy, and under the aegis of Emperor Napoleon III, the "Société d'Encouragement pour la Navigation de Plaisance" was founded. An official name to which will be added, a few months later, on November 11th precisely, the more attractive name of "Yacht Club de France". Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, then Minister of the Navy, was its first President. The association , recognized as a public utility in 1914, is the guardian of the "values and traditions of sailing and motor yachting, whether regatta or cruise", and of a certain ethic that is linked to it. In short, solidarity, courtesy and moral elegance make up this art of living at sea, which is well and truly defended!

Today, the YCF, in the heart of the French boating landscape

After more than 150 years of existence, the Club has kept the same ambitions, adapted to the evolution of yachting of course. The aim is to "promote, at a national level, sailing and yacht building in all its forms, and, beyond that, to contribute to the training of sailors". Managed by a president, Philippe Heral, an office, a board of directors, and various commissions, dedicated to heritage, navigation, the Club's restaurant, events at sea or on land... It should be noted that the YCF maintains close links with 32 allied Yacht Clubs in France and 25 abroad. In short, over the years it has become a de facto representative to the public authorities in the world of yachting , which is nowadays populated by five million French people!

Such illustrious members!

The Club had as many as 2000 members in the early 20th century, when it also looked after the wards of the sea. Today, there are 500 sea and marine enthusiasts to be members. Among the most illustrious members of the Club, great sailors, winners of the greatest races, marine painters, great writers, academics... let's mention Jules Verne, Virginie Hériot, Guy de Maupassant, Gustave Caillebotte, Alain Gerbault, Commander Charcot, Marin-Marie, Éric Tabarly, Olivier de Kersauson , Jean-Louis Étienne, Michel Desjoyaux, Franck Cammas . And for the honorary members: Queen Elizabeth of England, King Juan Carlos of Spain , King Constantine II of Greece , the Prince of Monaco, the Aga Khan Prince... Of course, the vast majority of the members are simply common mortals! They are not all Parisians, or even Parisian. Some even come from abroad

Between image and reality..

Sébastien David, Vice-President in charge of Communication of the YCF, says: "You are all potential future members! Admission is not that complicated", he defends. It is done through two sponsors, and is submitted to an Interior Commission and then to a Council. "There is no need for you to own a yacht, big or small, or to collect civil, citizen or military recognitions," he adds. "The only thing that matters is adherence to the values that the club defends and the willingness to "serve" to defend them, both at sea and on land. If Sébastien is so insistent, it's because the YCF is often perceived as a dusty and stuffy institution. An image that does not reflect the truth for Sebastien. "It's young and happy too! ».

Attractive values?

In fact, the club can be proud, unlike many associations, to see its membership grow. "In this day and age, where there is a lot of pecking around and relative involvement, that's a great achievement, isn't it? Sébastien adds, "This success can be explained, no doubt because our values attract, because they correspond to certain aspirations of the population. It is true that parity has not really been achieved among the members, since only a few dozen women are members, but the doors of the YCF are wide open to them. It is also a concrete offer of activities that seems to appeal to the members..

What the YCF offers its members

According to Sébastien, the Club's activity rests on three main pillars. Firstly, the social life it generates for its members. Conferences and meetings, prestigious competitions, meetings of maritime clubs or institutions, monthly cocktail parties, exhibitions... are on the programme. The Club is also at the origin of outings at sea for the sole pleasure of sailing as well as regattas. For example, the French Sailing Cup, created by the Club in 1891 (which makes it one of the oldest sailing trophies in Europe) as France's response to the America's Cup . Currently on hold, the Club has plans to revive it.

Acting and conserving

Another example is the YCF Autumn Cup, which offers traditional sailboats that participated in the "Régates Royales" in Cannes, the opportunity to race Saint-Tropez and its "Voiles". Also to be mentioned are the races initiated or sponsored by the Club: the Spring Cup, the Virginie Hériot Cup, the Ganay Cup, the Riban Etoilé Motonautique, the Tour de France à la Voile , the Régates Royales, the events organized by the Allied Clubs... Finally, the Club has a heritage mission that it carries out by collecting objects and documents retracing the history of yachting . It is notably through its library that it fulfils this mission

A renowned library

It is one of the richest in Europe on these themes of the sea and yachting . In its glazed shelves, all in wood varnished in a warm caramel colour, it conceals treasures... For proof, these logbooks of the famous sailor Virginie Hériot, who won the Olympic Games in 1928 in Amsterdam on board her yacht L'Ailée VI. For examples also the logbook of Charcot, writings by Jules Verne, others by Commandant Caillebotte. The copies of "Le Yacht", since its creation, those of the members' directories, and those also of the Bulletin published since 1902, are also of great value. Registers of identification of boats in the world, published by Lloyds insurance, when the ships were still possible to be counted, also enrich the collection! Modern books, naval architects' plans... complete the collection, which, due to lack of space, is still sometimes in boxes. If this library is one of the most important pieces of the Club, there are at least three others that are worth a visit

Elegant and friendly premises

After a few Parisian addresses, the YCF has moved to rented premises of 550 m2 for the past 20 years. It has therefore been occupying the ground floor of a superb building in western Paris for twenty years. After an imposing porch, we enter an entrance surrounded by doors: here we discover the first elements of this collection of written documents, photos, paintings, iconographies, models, half-shells... which make up the delightful decoration of the premises. It is on the portrait of the very first president of the Club, Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, that the gaze is first directed. We then admire the first of a long series of delicate models: well sheltered under its glass bell represents Virginie Hériot's Wing. And, like stripes on the walls, tapering half-shells of varnished wood are presented one above the other up to the high ceiling

See you at the big lounge

In the large reception room, the high walls and ceilings are decorated with mouldings, bas-reliefs, mirrors and paintings. Some are by the famous painter of the Navy, Marin-Marie, who was a member of the Club. Tables and sideboards hold cups and trophies. Models of ships still also. And large French windows open onto a green, almost country garden in the heart of Paris.

From the entrance there is a staircase leading to the bar. Step by step , one discovers a whole series of black and white photographic portraits of the presidents of the Club since its creation.

Cognac-coloured, deep and comfortable armchairs and sofas, wooden bar, walls covered with frames protecting photos, engravings, paintings, showing boats all sails outside: the bar proves to be very convivial!

Eating out among ourselves

Finally the large dining room and its refined decoration. With its mirrored doors, it seems very large, but in reality remains on a human scale. Between its marbled walls, its small intimate tables with impeccable dressage and its upholstered chairs welcome members and their guests. On the tablecloths, cutlery with the navy's coat of arms announces gourmet meals. "These are four very convivial places to live," says Sébastien, who can be reserved by our members and where room is also left for the major players in the yachting industry

Logo concept for yacht-related catering service

A logo idea to visually unite yachting and cuisine together. I took a boat's classic anchor, and harmoniously combined it with cutlery. The nautical rope around the composition further reinforces the idea behind the logo, and unites everything together. The wording below is balanced and easily readable. The whole logo works well on both light and dark backgrounds thank to good overall contrast.

AVAILABLE WITH CUSTOMIZATION My concept is a modern and clean negative space logo mark inspired by the yacht beating the waves. Elegant, sharp and curved lines develop feelings of excitement, enthusiasm and adventure. The orange color communicates adventure and risk-taking. By combining physical energy and stimulation of red with the cheerfulness of yellow, it inspires confidence, competition and independence. I paired the logo mark with clean and sharp typography to match the overall style. The softness and of the secondary typography and the circles of the yacht windows makes contrast to the sharp shapes and that makes them stand out.

Become a member

One team, one spirit, one club.

An individual wishing to become a member of the YCM needs to be introduced by two ‘sponsors’, both must be YCM society members. Any person who has been a society member for more than one year (with the exception of Board Members) may propose one applicant per session.

Twice a year, HSH Prince Albert II, President of the Yacht Club de Monaco, convenes a meeting of the Admissions Committee to examine all applications. New members are officially welcomed to the YCM at a cocktail party attended by members, after which it is customary for the new entrant to celebrate his or her membership at a dinner in the Club’s restaurant.

The Candidate

One of the sponsors must request an application form from the ‘Service Membres’ and go in person to pick it up. The form, having been duly completed and signed by the candidate and the two sponsors, should be accompanied by a letter of introduction from the first sponsor, explaining why the candidate wishes to join. It must be returned to ‘Service Membres’ within six months. After this date, the application will be cancelled.

The Sponsor

The sponsor plays a key role when introducing a new member to the Yacht Club de Monaco. It is their responsibility to ensure that newcomers fully embrace life at the Yacht Club, by introducing them to other members and involving them in events organised by the Club, whether they be of a social, cultural or sporting nature. The sponsor should also be committed to ensuring that the person they propose is encouraged to adopt the YCM’s philosophy and values, by actively participating in the life of the Club and constantly striving to raise the YCM’s standards.

Only one applicant per sponsor (society member) may be proposed and submitted per session for approval to the Admissions Committee which reserves the right to refuse any applicant without notification.
