Site Guide

" There is nothing - absolutely nothing half so
much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Kenneth Graham

Welcome to TYC
The site of the Transvaal Yacht Club
(Updated for the 2008-2009 Sailing Season )

If you're searching for exciting inland sailing - you're at the
right location. Not only is the sailing exciting, the members
are friendly and eager to share their knowledge of sailing
and local conditions with you.

A permanent Weather Station has been bequeathed
by "Mac" McDowell in memory of AW Flitton a past President
of TYC who circumnavigated the globe in 1945.
For a "local" weather report you can contact the Club on
Sail Days.

Home
Sailing provides escape, a magic carpet that puts the sailor completely on his own the moment he quits the shore.


 

Facilities
TYC commands a panoramic view of the waters of Hartbeespoort Dam.


  Sailing
As a pastime, sailing will consistently challenge you like no other. Inland sailing is as exciting as sailing on the sea.

  Racing
TYC
has a proud tradition of racing-members
who have participated in regattas at venues
around the country and the world.

  Cruising
Taking a more leisurely approach to sailing means taking the family and exploring at leisure.

 

Junior Sailing
Since 1990 a training programme has been in place to look after Junior Sailing.


  Social Events
Amongst the many events the Commodore's dinner is held in the lounge for members of the club at the opening of each season.

  Club Fees
Fees at the TYC can be favourably compared with most active clubs.

  History
The construction of Hartbeespoort Dam completed in 1923.
