There is no need to be a boat owner to become a member of the BRYC : some of them own a boat, others are crew members, some other ones are just boat lovers, sea enthusiasts or attracted by rivers and canals. All of them have found peace and serenity at the BRYC, this green area nearby the Royal Palace, so close to Brussels... sea harbour. The panelling and decoration of the club house, as well as its terrace, give them all they need for the trips they are dreaming of... unless it is just attraction of true friendship, naval etiquette and spririt of seamanship that bring them here together.
