approximately 600 kilometers and is home to 8 other yacht clubs and 6 marinas.
Situated on the banks of the Vaal Dam, LDYC is by far the largest yacht club with 420

full time staff.
We offer a full range of membership options to suit your lifestyle and pocket.

SERIOUS ABOUT SAILING?

in provincial and national competition. The club is fully equipped for sailing enthusiasts
:

Non-competitive sailors at LDYC participate actively in the year-long calendar of

LDYC’s claim to fame is the annual hosting of the ‘Round the Island
Race’ in February every year. Established in 1958, it is the largest inland yacht
race in the world and sailors compete from all over the country. The record entry was 721
boats. In 1999, 453 boats competed for the honours. On average, 1,800 sailors and 3,300
visitors descend on the Club grounds to participate in the fun, festivity and challenge of
the race.
POWER-BOATERS ARE WELCOME!
Unlike many Yacht Clubs, we welcome powerboats. A dedicated slipway for launching is
provided.
