Real Club Náutico de Barcelona

The Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, known in English as the Royal Barcelona Yacht Club and in Catalan as the Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona (RCNB), is a member-only yacht club based in Barcelona, Spain. It was established in 1876 and is one of the oldest yacht clubs in Catalonia. The club stands at one end of Barcelona harbour, in its own delimited area under an administrative concession from the Barcelona Port Authority, very close to its competitor the Royal Barcelona Maritime Club. The premises include a restaurant overlooking the moored yachts that is open to the public, and the club has 175 moorings, of which 20 are available for hire while the rest are privately owned. The club has taken part in many sailing competitions and won a great number of awards, and it organises with the company Puig the Puig Vela Clásica, a July regatta reserved for traditional and classic boats.
