| Profile | The Royal Albert Yacht Club and the Royal Naval Club are two separate clubs that amalgamated in 1971. The Royal Albert Yacht Club was founded at Southsea in 1864, was given the title Royal in 1865, and was granted the special ensign (a plain blue ensign) in probably 1866. It merged with the Royal Portsmouth Corinthian Yacht Club in 1946.
