The sport of sailing is what you want to make of it, from
dinghies, to small and large cabin sailboats, whether your
interest is racing, cruising, and a combination of both. Sailing
is a continuous learning process. At every step, there is a
carry-over of skills from the preceding stage. Yet a lifetime
is not enough to absorb it all. But even for the beginner
the pleasure and rewards are immediate.

Fundamentally, sailing provides escape, a
magic carpet that puts the sailor completely
on his own the moment he quits the shore.
The important factors in his life become the
state of the weather, the set of the sails, the distance and course to the next objective. Workaday worries seem to dissolve in the encircling water.

For the first-time visitor it is hard to believe that the TYC
(Transvaal Yacht Club) is only 40 minutes from Johannesburg
- the commercial hub of South Africa. Situated as it is in the
foothills of the scenic Magaliesberg Mountains, surrounded
by verdant hills and looking out over a shoreline that
stretches more than 50 kilometres, it is an island of
tranquillity that has occupied pride of place on the
northern banks of Hartbeespoort Dam since 1923.
