The present Yachting Association of Sri Lanka, which was formed in 1958 after Independence, is the continuation of the Royal Colombo Yacht Club, which was established in 1898 under British rule.
Therefore we have a history dating back to 1898.
The Yachting Association of Sri Lanka, which was originally housed in the Colombo Port, had to be shifted outside the Port due to the Port Development Project and the security reasons.
"Set sail and let the waves guide you!"
Vision of the Association – Sailing is considered the most suitable sport for an Island such as ours
It’s also a sport that is closely related to our culture and history. History records that Prince Wijeya our ancestor landed in Sri Lanka in a boat proving that sailing is a sport closely connected to our Island inhabitancies.
Since our country is blessed with a number of waterways and lakes in addition to the sea surrounding, improving and encouraging sailing undoubtedly would attract foreigners to visit Sri Lanka making it an ideal tourist resort bolstering our National Economy.
OUR CHIEF AIM IS TO IMPROVE AND PROMOTE THE SAILING SPORT IN SRI LANKA MAKING IT THE MOST POPULAR AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNING SPORT.
