Imperial Poona Yacht Club

In a remarkable twist of reality, the Imperial Poona Yacht Club (IPYC) stands as a tangible testament, and even celebrated its remarkable 75th anniversary in 2009, marking a pivotal chapter in its storied history. Chronicled within the engaging tome “75 Years of Balls” (aptly titled after the Club’s burgee, adorned with three vivid red balls against a radiant yellow backdrop), the narrative charts the club’s compelling journey from its nascent roots in Oxford, navigating through the tumultuous waters of a world war, to its present-day standing as the sole Imperial Yacht Club bestowed with the distinguished recognition of the Royal Yachting Association.

Emerging in 1934, the inception of Poona was spurred by a spirited reaction to the influx of imperial tedium stemming from the return of colonial enthusiasts from India. With its vibrant membership capped at a modest 25, Sir Reginald Bennett, the visionary founder, once shared his astute observation in a 1983 Daily Mail piece: “There are only 25 members and they all have to be fantastic sailors to qualify – Prince Philip is only an honorary member.”

However, Prince Philip, known in Poona’s inner circle as The Maharaja of Cooch Parwani, rises above the good-natured jest, graciously lending his voice to the Foreword of the club’s history. Encouraging readers with his inimitable wit, he mused, “If you can bring yourself to read this book from cover to cover, you will be in a position to judge for yourself whether, or not, life can be significantly improved by not taking it too seriously all the time.”

Guiding this narrative voyage is none other than the author, The Gully Gully Man, who, as proclaimed by the Maharaja, has skillfully mastered the art of harmonizing historical precision with audacious whimsy, deftly navigating through the corridors of factual accuracy and the delightful realm of the absurd.

"""The yachting world is divided into three factions: those who believe the Imperial Poona Yacht Club exists, those who may be termed the 'come-on-pull-the-other one' lot, and my wife,"" wrote former yachting journalist John Chamier in an article in The Field in December 1979. As unbelievable as it may sound, the Imperial Poona Yacht Club (IPYC) does exist and celebrated its 75thanniversary in 2009 when this history was written. 75 Years of Balls (named after the Club's burgee of three red balls on a yellow background) traces the history of the Club from its foundation in Oxford through a world war to its current position as the only Imperial Yacht Club recognised by the Royal Yachting Association. Poona was formed in 1934 as a reaction against the imperial bores returning from India at the time. Its active membership is limited to 25. The founder, Sir Reginald Bennett, was quoted in the Daily Mail in 1983: ""There are only 25 members and they all have to be fantastic sailors to qualify - Prince Philip is only an honorary member."" Despite this slight, Prince Philip, or as he is better known within Poona, The Maharaja of Cooch Parwani, has deigned to comment in his Forward (as opposed to Backward, or even Foreword - you will have to read it to find out why!) to the history: ""If you can bring yourself to read this book from cover to cover, you will be in a position to judge for yourself whether, or not, life can be significantly improved by not taking it too seriously all the time."" The author, The Gully Gully Man, has, according to the Maharaja, ""successfully met the challenge to combine historical accuracy while contending with the outrageous and the absurd."""

Author Information

Jeremy Atkins was elected to membership of the Imperial Poona Yacht Club in 1981 when he left Oxford University having studied sailing and tomfoolery. On graduating he settled into a career in market research while also founding and running the Laser 2 Class Association in the UK and Worldwide. Having self-published his first book in 1984, he returned to writing, and self-publishing, in 2009 to write the history of the Imperial Poona Yacht Club and two other sailing clubs he was a member of. In 2013, having run his own market research agency for 15 years, he acquired the nautical list from multinational publishing company Wiley, re-founded the independent Fernhurst Books and became a publisher for real. Since then he has published over 70 nautical books. In 2020 Fernhurst Books set up Self Publishing House to help would-be authors publish their own books. Jeremy is a past Laser II National Champion and currently sails a Fireball and Solo at Draycote Water Sailing Club, where he has been Commodore for 5 years.

Oxford Cambridge Sailing News

Bringing the latest Society news and university event results to members.

Merchandise

Obtain O&CSS burgees from the Hon Treasurer and the history of the Society (“75 Years of Port & Balls”) from Amazon – as detailed below.

In view of the greatly reduced demand for Society ties and the substantial size of a re-order, the Committee has decided not to re-stock any ties. The current stock of ties is exhausted.

A few Society burgees remain. The price is £8 (£10 overseas) from the  Hon Treasurer . Please specify the address to which you would like the burgee delivered. Payment details will be sent once you have made your order.

History of the Society

Jeremy Atkins’ history of the Society traces events from the founding meeting on 24 th  February 1934, up to the year 2008. O&CSS members’ successes, which are unparalleled by any other sailing club, include the following.

  • Competing at the Olympics on 20 occasions (3 gold medals, 3 silver, 2 bronze)
  • Competing in all but one of the World Team Racing Championships (3 silver medals, 1 bronze)
  • Winning the Prince of Wales Cup 27 times
  • Winning the OK World Championships 5 times
  • Winning the Int 14 World Championships 5 times

The Imperial Poona Yacht Club was formed just two months after the O&CSS, in a light-hearted reaction to the more serious intent of the Society.  The book combines Poona’s irreverent history with the Society’s;  formed as foes, but now bound in a book.

The hardback book comprises 160 pages and many photographs.  It even includes a Forward (rather than Backward) by the late Prince Philip – but you will have to read it to find out why!   The book is available for £20 plus delivery from Amazon .

The title of the book comes two sources. The first is the Society’s penchant for maintaining and enjoying an impressive cellar of vintage port. The second is the fact that Poona, whose burgee consists of three red balls on a yellow background, is often described as “a load of balls”.

  • In Memoriam – ANTHONY LUNCH
  • No Comments

imperial poona yacht club members

13 February 1945 – 20 October 2022

It is a matter of fact that no individual has served the Oxford University Yacht Club for longer than Anthony Lunch. His 40 years as a Flag Officer are unprecedented – only Martin Beale gets close at 31 years. It might be considered a matter of opinion that no one has served the Club with more dedication and enthusiasm, but that opinion is likely to be shared by anyone who has been a member since 1979 – the year Anthony became Commodore.

Anthony Lunch was born on 13 th February 1945. He learnt to sail at Chipstead Sailing Club at the age of 10, moving on to that hotbed of sailing talent, Sevenoaks School. Of this time, Anthony said: ‘Before long I was a very junior member of the Sevenoaks team and from then on my abilities improved and my love of team racing was fuelled by exciting fixtures and senior boys’ expert tuition. All this culminated in the Public Schools Championships in 1961, when (with Barry Stacey) we came second, and then the following year, when we were lucky enough to win, and bring home a new Firefly to join the school fleet. In all my years of racing, this remains one of the highlights!’

After Sevenoaks Anthony spent 12 months doing Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), as a teacher in The Gambia. This experience was to have a big influence in his later life.

Then came the move to Oxford University to read Geography at Mansfield College. There he quickly became involved in the Yacht Club, sailing in the Varsity Match in all of his three years – winning all of them, the final one as Captain and Vice Commodore (the senior student post). In 1967, he put in an application for Full Blue status. This resulted in two members of the Varsity Match team being awarded Full Blues for the first time, with the remainder still getting Half Blues.

It was at Oxford Anthony came across the Imperial Poona Yacht Club for the first time, competing in the ‘Backwards Races’ between the two Clubs at Port Meadow. The report from the 1965 event describes him as ‘porpoising about amidst the cackle of geese.’ He obviously enjoyed this and was to come back for more!

In his final year he also represented the British Universities in their tour of the United States – where he was able to meet up again with Harry Anderson (the most significant contributor to American sailing) who he first met at the Backwards Races and with whom he remained in contact for many years.

A final, and most significant, result from his time at Oxford was that it was there that he met Martine. They are reported to have made a dashing couple and their long-lasting union was a constant in the rest of his life.

After obtaining what he always described as a ‘sporting third’, Anthony joined Unilever as a graduate trainee, working in many different countries, with his language skills being both invaluable and improved. He then became Managing Director of Phildar UK before his entrepreneurial drive led him to start a number of different businesses as well as volunteering and charitable organisations.

He renewed his links with VSO as a Council Member from 1983 to 1990. In 1990 he founded the Sermathang Project in Nepal after he and Martine visited the remote community where their son, Nick, was a volunteer teacher. This helped educate many hundreds of children in communities in the Helambu area, with a new school being built in 1995.

In 2000, Anthony founded MondoChallenge in order to widen the scope of the projects. MondoChallenge sending volunteers to Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, Kenya, The Gambia, Chile and Ecuador. Anthony said: “My vision has always been ‘People first, money second.’  We are NOT a funding organisation, but I know from experience that the small amounts we do provide go much further than many international aid programmes! Although much of the volunteer contribution must inevitably go to covering our running costs, the MondoChallenge Foundation, our sister charity, fundraises and supports our development projects financially in the countries where our volunteers are working. This funding, together with the work of volunteers, has already had a huge impact on many schools, orphanages, and small businesses and ultimately the lives of many thousands of people that Mondo has been lucky enough to work with. This is how I planned it, and this is how I intend it will continue.”

All his business and volunteering work took Anthony away from sailing, although he kept his hand in with a vintage International 14 at Upper Thames Sailing Club when they lived in Bray and a Flying Fifteen at Northampton when they moved there. He also got back to the Oxford University Yacht Club, being elected Commodore (an alumnus post) in 1979.

His enthusiasm and creativity in this role encouraged the undergraduates to strive for great things and it is no coincidence that the Club became its most active in these initial years. As Commodore he attended many events, including Varsity Matches. In Beaumaris in 1979 he invented a new drink (cocktail would be too kind a word – it was known as the stomach pump!) which was served up for a number of years at the match.

Anthony also revived the Poona match and was soon elected a member of this exclusive club of which he was an enthusiastic and active participant.

He stepped down as Commodore in 1985 and became a Vice President, but his active involvement didn’t cease. In 1990, the enterprising undergraduates organised a World Tour, competing in India, Hong Kong, Japan and USA. Anthony jumped at the chance and joined them for some of the tour and, notably, the visit to Japan and Doshisha University. The exchange with Doshisha continues to this day and while Jean-Philippe Snelling has always been the main driver, Anthony’s involvement has always been appreciated by Doshisha University and their alumni.

After 16 years as a Vice President, Anthony was elevated to President in 2001 – a post he held until 2018. It was also around this time that Anthony became a more regular sailor, buying a Swallow with Andrew Reid and racing it at Itchenor for 25 years. In typical Anthony style, he was soon involving young people in Swallow racing, including students from the OUYC. He was also a past chair of the National Swallow Class.

When Anthony stepped down as President in 2018, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the RYA and thoroughly enjoyed being presented with it by Princess Anne.

Anthony’s death has deprived the OUYC of its most loyal supporter, but our thoughts are with Martine, his children, Chris, Nick and Cecilia and their families who have lost a loving husband, father and grandfather.

While Anthony was a long-time friend of the Oxford University Yacht Club and a major supporter of the Life Members’ Boat Fund that provides significant funding for the Club, it is rightly his family’s wish that anyone wishing to make a donation in his memory does so to: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/anthonylunchlegacy

A Memorial Service for Anthony will be held at Chichester Cathedral at 3pm on Friday 10 th February and afterwards at Itchenor Sailing Club. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to his son Nick: [email protected]

75 Years of Balls: The History of the Imperial Poona Yacht Club Kindle Edition

“The yachting world is divided into three factions: those who believe the Imperial Poona Yacht Club exists, those who may be termed the ‘come-on-pull-the-other one’ lot, and my wife,” wrote former yachting journalist John Chamier in an article in The Field in December 1979.

As unbelievable as it may sound, the Imperial Poona Yacht Club (IPYC) does exist and celebrated its 75 th anniversary in 2009 when this history was written. 75 Years of Balls (named after the Club’s burgee of three red balls on a yellow background) traces the history of the Club from its foundation in Oxford through a world war to its current position as the only Imperial Yacht Club recognised by the Royal Yachting Association.

Poona was formed in 1934 as a reaction against the imperial bores returning from India at the time. Its active membership is limited to 25. The founder, Sir Reginald Bennett, was quoted in the Daily Mail in 1983: “There are only 25 members and they all have to be fantastic sailors to qualify – Prince Philip is only an honorary member.”

Despite this slight, Prince Philip, or as he is better known within Poona, The Maharaja of Cooch Parwani, has deigned to comment in his Forward (as opposed to Backward, or even Foreword – you will have to read it to find out why!) to the history: “If you can bring yourself to read this book from cover to cover, you will be in a position to judge for yourself whether, or not, life can be significantly improved by not taking it too seriously all the time.”

The author, The Gully Gully Man, has, according to the Maharaja, “successfully met the challenge to combine historical accuracy while contending with the outrageous and the absurd.”
