Madoc Yacht Club

The Grade II listed Link Madoc Yacht Club was built in the mid nineteenth century probably partly as a house and the harbour office. The earliest section is probably the wing on the R-hand side, built in 1852 at the expense of David Williams of Deudraeth Castle, the upper storey of which housed a seamen's newsroom and library. By 1856 it subscribed to several newspapers and journals and had a library of 250 books. The whole building is shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan, 1885 harbour survey and 1888 Ordnance Survey. Later used as a Chapel and a mussel shed, the Yacht Club Link has resided in the building since 1970 when it was bought from Tremadog Estate.
