Topsail in Association with the OCCOnline enquiry form for Ocean Cruising Club is available here. Yacht Travel Insurance - click here An International Club administered from the U.K., the Ocean Cruising Club (OCC) was founded in 1954 by the late Humphrey Barton, not long after his epic crossing of the Atlantic in little Vertue XXXV. In those days long passages in small yachts were nowhere near as commonplace as they are today and the early members were an elite band of ocean voyagers whose achievements formed a common bond. Today, that same common bond continues to give the membership its raison d'être, although without the same pioneering element that drew the founder members together. Although established in the UK, membership has spread to many countries and the UK members form slightly less than 50% of the total, which is steadily growing and now numbers over 1500. There is a strong element in the USA, particularly on the eastern seaboard. National Rear Commodores organise local events in Australia, Canada, Ireland, UK and the east and west coasts of the USA. With these events and a significant number of members on passage, the blue and yellow burgee with its Flying Fish motif is carried proudly throughout the cruising waters of the world. With such a proud tradition it is somewhat of an honour for GH Insurance services to be associated with this historic club in the capacity of recommended broker.
