About KDY - Royal Danish Yacht Club

The Royal Danish Yacht Club (RDYC) was founded on 3 July 1866 after a regatta in Nyborg (Funen), and was originally named the Danish Association for Pleasure Sailing (Dansk Forening for Lystsejlads). Ever since then, the Club has worked to promote sailing in Denmark and to support its members in their favourite sport. The first clubhouse was built in 1884 at Pinneberg’s Ravelin on the Langelinie site facing the Copenhagen waterfront. In 2005 RDYC agreed with Skovshoved Yacht Club, to take over their shares in the Match Race Center, as Skovshoved Yacht Club wanted to pursue other strategic directions within sailing. As a consequence RDYC changed the name of the center to: Royal Match Race Center. In the autumn of 2000, Rungsted Kyst Yacht Club and RDYC merged after having been neighbours for so many years in Rungsted – and having cooperated in the important international regattas. In this way, the Club got many committed members and more activity areas: club matches (one of the country’s most popular activities), the optimist division, dinghy and junior activities, and last, but not least, one of the best sailing schools in the country. The board of RDYC have spent the winter of 2004/05 to develop a 5 year Strategy Plan as well as a very exciting Sponsor Strategy and an updated Brand Manual have been issued. The result of this intensive work, will bring the club and it´s offerings to a new level – and our vision is clear – To Become The Best Sportsclub in Denmark, and among the best Yacht Clubs in the world.
