Royal Canadian Yacht Club was founded in Toronto in 1852 to serve both as a yachting recreational club and an unofficial auxiliary of the Royal Navy in the defence of the waters of Lake Ontario. We are one of Canada’s premier sailing and social clubs, with an emphasis on family participation, the development of our junior sailors, and a Corinthian attitude towards excellence in sailing. RCYC Members enjoy our lively Wine Dinners, Themed Family Nights, Heritage Events, Fitness speaker series, an Annual Summer Ball and many other Club Events. Our spirited Social Groups provide a variety of mixers and activities throughout the year ideal for learning something new, making new friends and having fun.
