Royal Cape Yacht Club (RCYC) is based in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a Cape Town club with Table Bay, working harbour water and serious ocean routes close at hand.
Founded in 1905, it has become known for South African offshore racing, cruising support and a strong Cape sailing community.
On the water, The Cape does not flatter the unprepared; wind, swell and ocean miles make this a club with proper seagoing relevance.
Ashore, Clubhouse, marina surroundings and local marine services support both coastal sailors and ocean-bound crews.
For visiting sailors, Visiting yachts should check harbour procedures, weather windows and local advice before treating Table Bay as just another stop.
