Welcome to Kerala Yachting 

Sea is a vast wilderness, even to scientists mostly an enigma. Man’s undying spirit and thirst for adventure has been challenging its mysteries since the dawn of history. He traveled uncharted oceans, found new continents and still stood in wonderment before the unpredictability of its vastness and challenges. Modern man has unraveled much of its secrets, but his urge to face challenges and to test his own strength and abilities finds new ways for fulfillment.

This is the spirit behind modern yachting.

True to tradition, a few adventurous minded young men got together and gave birth to Kerala Yachting Association a civilian body, with the base in Cochin. It had a humble beginning. But during a short span of 7 years, it made its own imprint in the yachting fraternity and has won laurels way beyond the expectations of its members and the general public. Though resource-starved, compared to other service associations, it has to its credit, achievements which are a matter of pride for its members.

 
 

KYA conducted SBI National Inland Optimist Championship - 2008 Individual Championship at POIKA back waters, Raktheshwari Temple Road Cherai, Kochi, Kerala from 25 Jan to 30 Jan 2009

 It was the first time that such an event is taking place in the scenic waters of Kerala. Kochi has acquired a special place in the yachting map especially after the historic event - The Volvo Ocean Race - first stop over in India ever. The race has come and gone, and there has been good response from the yachting circle as well as from the general public.

KYA is lucky to have the Nationals immediately after the VOR as the spirits are still high with the Ocean race.
