Association ProfileThank
you for your interest in the Eventide Owners Association.
The Association was formed in 1963, by builders and owners of the
Yachting Monthly Eventide sailing cruiser, to enable amateur builders to
exchange views and experiences and for the exchange of technical knowledge.
It soon extended its scope to include the Waterwitch, then the other YM-sponsored
designs. As times have changed, it
has extended further to cover other designs of the same era, and objectives now
include: · To encourage cruising and to protect
members' interests ·
To further the interests of all YM
designs, the aim of which is to provide inexpensive and comfortable cruising ·
To encourage and help owner builders Although
membership is largely based in Great Britain, we have members all over the
world. We include all, from the
very young to the retired, families and solo sailors, from the aspiring to
through owners to those who can no longer sail, all with that common love of
boats and cruising. Joining the
Association brings you our twice-yearly Bulletin, with all its news and
information, full of tips for building and maintaining boats and accounts of
members' cruises. The cruises vary
from ditch-crawling to coastal and even ocean sailing.
A wealth of information on every aspect of building, restoring and
sailing boats is available through "Reprints from the Bulletin" and
from members simply telephoning and talking to each other. We
organise sailing meetings around our coasts, giving sailors and aspiring sailors
alike the chance to sample the reality of sailing the YM-sponsored designs.
There are also occasional builders' (or more often nowadays,
re-builders') meets. Our AGM and an
occasional of social event occur in or around London each year.
We try to keep these as very friendly, informal evenings, with a great
deal of informative chat and banter. We
hope you will join us, to get more out of your boat, bringing it up to date with
the latest developments in the design maybe, or simply meeting, amiable,
like-minded people.
