The Royal Madras Yacht Club (RMYC) is a yacht club in Chennai, India.[1] The RMYC was founded by Sir Francis Spring in 1911.[2] It was the first sailing club in southern India, and was originally based in what was called the Timber Pond area of Madras Harbour. Soon after its founding the club was granted royal patronage by George V, and it became one of the most prestigious sporting and social clubs in British India. Today the club is located at Springhaven Wharf, named after its founder.
