The club was founded in 1883 as country-wide organisation with affiliated local yacht clubs. In 1884 it was granted the right for members to fly the naval Ensign of Norway with the Royal cypher on a centrally placed white field. In 1970 it was reorganized as local club for the Oslo area, under a new nationwide federation of yacht clubs (Norges Seilforbund). It has some 4,000 members.
Clubhouse
The club premises are at Bygdøy in Frognerkilen, where the clubhouse is named "Dronningen" ('The Queen').[1]
Regatta
The Royal Norwegian Yacht Club traditionally arranges the big Norwegian regatta called "Færderseilasen" every year, on the second weekend in June.
