Today this is interpreted as any gentleman or lady, actively interested in yachting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Earl of Yarborough, later first Commodore of the Yacht Club, welcomed the Prince Regent as a member in 1817. In 1820, when the Prince Regent became George IV, it was renamed the Royal Yacht Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Club started organising racing as a principal feature of the annual regatta, which is now known as Cowes Week. In 1833 William IV renamed the club, The Royal Yacht Squadron. Its association with the Royal Navy began early and Nelson's Captain at Trafalgar, Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, headed the list of Naval members. The spirit of invention led to yachts of such celerity in sailing and beauty of construction that they were of utility to the Royal Navy. In 1829 the Admiralty issued a warrant to wear what is now the navy's White Ensign. The burgee (a triangular shaped flag identifying yacht club membership) is differenced with a St George's Cross and crown on a white background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eToday, the Royal Yacht Squadron remains one of the most preeminent yacht clubs in the world after celebrating its bicentenary in 2015. The clubhouse is located in Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, the club's patron was Queen Elizabeth II and the club's Admiral was the late Prince Philip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSet into the center of this stick pin is a good sized cabochon rock crystal with the subject matter of the yacht burgee. Known as both Essex Crystals or reverse intaglios, this type of technique requires a mastery of both hand carving of hard stones, as well as the ability to paint on a microscopic and detailed level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe process begins with selecting crystals that are cut and polished into a flat back and cabochon front, in order to help magnify the final painting. The procedure could take as many as twenty different grades of polish, and the entire process is done by hand. Once the stone is shaped, the design is drawn on the reverse side of the crystal with water colour. The image is then etched into the stone with a scribe pencil. From here begins the process of hand engraving. As many as 250 tools may be used in order to create each miniature masterpiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe crystal is carved with a paste made from a combination of oil and diamond dust. Once the carving has been completed the painting commences. Just as in the carving phase, the painting is done in reverse. Sometimes the brushes that are used have only a single hair. Once the painting is complete the painting is backed with a piece of mother of pearl that helps illuminate the work from the back, reflecting light back through the crystal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe result is a magnificent, almost three dimensional, portrait that comes alive.

He had been bitten by the sailing bug and invested in a series of ever-more impressive sailing vessels, which culminated in having Britannia built in 1893. He often raced from the club, whilst his mother, Queen Victoria, gave trophies to be contested at the club’s regatta. Britannia, sometimes with His Royal Highness on board, used to race against similarly impressive boats in a series of events around Britain, with Dover and the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club featuring prominently as one of the highlights in the racing calendar. What a sight it must have been to behold these 200-tonne cutters doing battle in the English Channel!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1893, at the RCPYC regatta, Britannia beat Valkyrie a boat built specifically to contest the America’s Cup, the blue riband event of all yacht racing. The Prince collected the Commodore’s Cup for his victory, which was slightly tempered by the fact that the two boats and another called the Vendetta all collided on the way back to port and had to be towed back to Dover. A newspaper report of the time stated: “When the impact occurred, many of the persons on the decks of the vessels were precipitated into the water, but they were all rescued.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAmong those to have visited the club in its formative years were Capt. Matthew Webb, who had a reception held in his honour in 1875 for becoming the first person to swim the English Channel, and Paul Boyton, who is renowned for crossing the same stretch of water with the aid of a somewhat bizarre patented rubber lifesaving suit, an achievement, while perhaps not as impressive as Capt. Webb’s, is said to have “caused the wildest excitement over all the world”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe club’s President is the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, the post held by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother until her death in 2002.
