- Royal Madras Yacht Club
Royal Madras Yacht Club
Located at Chennai (formerly known as Madras), the Royal Madras Yacht Club (RMYC) was the first sailing Club in the South of India. It was founded in 1911 by the then Chairman of The Madras Port Trust – Mr. Francis Spring in what was called the Timber Pond area of the Madras harbour. Now, a century later, you will find that RMYC is still pursuing the ideals laid down at the very beginning. The Club's primary purpose is "to promote the sport of sailing" in all its aspects. In the century gone by, one is proud to be associated with an institution that has done exactly what it set out to do. We at RMYC pride ourselves in being an active, inclusive and family friendly Sailing Club, working together to encourage participation in the sport we all enjoy. Old or young, experienced or novice we welcome all those whose aim is to have "fun" on the waters. Chennai, India
