African Yacht Club

yacht club

A yacht club is a sports club specifically related to sailing and yachting. Yacht clubs are often associated with a particular marina or port. The club is ostensibly for the owners of yachts but more generally serving as a social club. There is a huge amount of tradition behind yacht clubs, sailing being a rather venerable sport. Most yacht clubs have a distinctive burgee (pennant or flag) and short abbreviation. (eg Royal Yacht Squadron is abbreviated to RYS, New York Yacht Club abbreviated to NYYC etc). Yacht clubs also host regattas and other social and recreational activities throughout the year.

Organization

Yacht clubs are often organized in faux naval style. The Commodore is usually the senior officer. For most yacht clubs, under the Commodore there are also the Vice Commodore and the Rear Commodore. In a few yacht clubs the Admiral, which is one rank above the Commodore, is the senior officer.
