King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) was created after its founders noticed a lack of transformation and development in the industry and the sport. As a result, they established an organisation that could focus on these development goals and offer greater opportunities to previously disadvantaged individuals.
MISSION
-
To assist in the establishment of a democratic, non-racial sports system for our country.
-
To train and develop new sailors, and nurture our current sailors to excel in the sporting code they have chosen.
-
To be the premier yacht club on the South African East Coast, offering learning opportunities, instilling the value of safety and sportsmanship, promoting volunteerism for club committees, events and activities, and developing skills beyond only a hobby, but rather to offer potential career paths.
REGISTRATIONS

MANAGEMENT
