The Royal Madras Yacht Club (RMYC) is a yacht club located in Chennai, India.〔Royal Madras Yacht Club website (History) http://www.rmyc.in/history.html〕
The RMYC was founded by Sir Francis Spring in 1911.〔''The Geography of India: Sacred and Historic Places'' (Britannica Educational Publishing), 184. 〕 It was the first sailing club in southern India, and was originally based in what was called the Timber Pond area of the Madras harbour. Soon after its founding the club was granted royal patronage by George V, and it became the one of most prestigious sporting and social clubs in British India. Today the club is located at Springhaven Wharf, named after its founder.
==History==
Sporting sailing in the area first started in Ennore, situated north of Madras, in the early 1900s. Sir Francis Spring, the first Chairman of the Madras Port Trust, founded the Royal Madras Yacht Club in 1911. The first of the Inter-Club Regattas in India was held in 1924 between the Royal Colombo Yacht Club and the RMYC in Madras. It was accorded its 'Royal' status by the Emperor of India, George V, and the name was changed to The Royal Madras Yacht Club on 8 June 1933. The popular class at that time was the ''Bembridge''. The club quickly gained a reputation for its formal atmosphere and it became one of the leading sporting social clubs in the country. After a number of re-locations, the club is situated at its original premises selected by its founder, which has come to be known as the Springhaven Wharf.
Recent decades have seen the facilities of the club improved and modernised. The then Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Radhakrishna Hariram Tahiliani, inaugurated the new Club House on 4th February 1987. The Club was affiliated to Yachting Association of India after the YAI was formed in 1960 and many national sailing events have since been held at the Club. The Club conducted many regattas in Chennai between 1961 and 1981, including the Madras Port Centenary Regatta in 1971. From 1963 to 1971, The Royal Madras Yacht Club conducted the Inter Club Regatta for the Yachting Association of India and in 1963 the club were runners-up. In 1971, the Club won both the individual and team events. At the international level, club members Deep Rekhi, Kuruvilla Abraham, Drona Narayanan, Navaz Currimbhoy, Sandeep Srikanth, Niloufer Jamal, Rohit Ashok and Varun Prabhakar represented India between 1970 and 2000. During the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the Club lost 12 Boats and its facilities were badly damaged.
