The Seamaster Club is essentially an owners club. It was founded in 1992 as a self-help group to provide a forum for the support and assistance of owners of boats built on Seamaster hulls and to encourage owners to use, maintain and enjoy their boats. The Club currently has almost 500 members across the UK, Ireland and Europe. The membership is supported by an enthusiastic Committee which meets about six times a year and takes an active interest in all the Club's affairs nationwide.

Club Magazine: the Club magazine "Seamaster Lives On" is published every 2 months and reports on issues affecting boaters such as the changes in the Broads Authority, "red diesel", rising licence fees, revised weather forecasts, etc. It also contains technical tips, articles on boat maintenance and improvements, trade sources of supply and assistance, reports on events and details of the planned programmes ahead. There is a classified advertoisements section for members (non-members may advertise here for a small fee) covering boats and equipment for sale and wanted. Members also contribute articles of their own choice such as innovations, cruise reports, etc., and there is of course a "letters" page. Pages from a sample magazine are here.

Technical information: The club maintains comprehensive technical information about such aspects of the boats as original specifications, workshop manuals, etc., for engines and gearboxes, details of sources of supply (suppliers and / or manufacturers) for replacement parts or improvements. If you are undertaking repairs or improvements it is highly probable that another member will have carried out a similar task and be able to offer advice. Technical advice is also available, normally free of charge, to members of the Seamaster Club. Members will find details within the Members Only section of this web site. The Club encourages the free exchange of information about Seamaster boats, etc., and it is not unusual for committee members, other members, or suppliers to be contacted by club members seeking information and/or advice.

Merchandise / Club Regalia: The Club has its own range of clothing embroidered with the Seamaster Club logo. This includes polos, sweats, caps etc. Publications include boat reports on the Seamaster range and The Seamaster Story, being a history of Seamaster boats built at Great Dunmow, etc., and a description of each model. Other merchandise includes the club burgee and vinyl transfers of the Seamaster logos to go on the side of the boat.

The Regions: Within the British Isles we have organised the Club into regions. In each region we endeavour to maintain an Area Co-ordinator who provides a focal point for the "local" members. They have access to all of the Club's resources and technical know-how and facilitate feed-back of ideas, observations, problems, etc., to the Committee. Some organise local events for the members (see Events below). We do not have co-ordinators for the foreign members but, like all members, they can still contact any member of the Committee direct. Click below for details of the Committee and Area Representatives.

Events: In the Thames region there has been a traditional afloat rally at Cookham in the autumn. In the Norfolk Broads and Great Ouse areas there have been similar meets about twice a year. These continue to be popular and more recently members have shown increasing interest in getting together at afloat rallies during the season and for social evenings, pub lunches, and similar events during the off season. Several other areas now also organise local events for their members. Details of events can be seen in the diary pages. This is a very healthy trend that we of course encourage since it not only fosters a greater interest in the Club and a sort of "team spirit", it also provides an invaluable forum for the exchange of information, solutions to problems, ideas for the future, etc. Many new members join the Club at these sort of events.
