A Message from The Commodore

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as Commodore of the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club. Since its founding in 1882, our Club has stood as a cornerstone of Bermuda’s maritime tradition, blending a proud history with a dynamic and welcoming community for members of all ages.

RHADC continues to thrive because of the spirit of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and volunteerism that defines our membership. From the excitement of Bermuda Fitted Dinghy racing aboard Elizabeth II, to the energy of our junior sailing programs and the popularity of our Wednesday Night Racing series, the Club remains deeply committed to fostering excellence on the water while ensuring opportunities for participation at every level.

Equally important is the role the Club plays ashore. Our clubhouse, marina, and social spaces provide a setting where friendships are built, families gather, and lifelong memories are made. Whether enjoying a meal overlooking the harbour, taking part in club events, or simply relaxing with fellow members, RHADC offers something for everyone.

As we look ahead, our focus remains on maintaining and enhancing the facilities, programs, and experiences that make this Club so special. We will continue to invest in our sailing programs, support our staff, and strengthen the sense of community that has sustained RHADC for generations.

I encourage all members to make full use of the Club, to participate actively, and to contribute where they can. The continued success of RHADC depends on the engagement and enthusiasm of its members, and I am confident that together we will build on the strong foundation laid by those who came before us.

I look forward to seeing you on the water and at the Club.

Patrick Cooper, Commodore
