July 29-Aug 4 National Junior Ranking event 2022
Royal Mysore Sailing Club took birth in 2020 with a few eminent sports enthusiasts Mysoreans coming together with a mandate of putting Mysore on the sailing map of India and producing champions.
Permission from Government of Karnataka and recognition from Karnataka State Sailing Association (KSSA) was received and RMSC set up Karnataka’s only civil sailing centre at KRS backwaters.
RMSC received support from Royal Madras Yachting Club (RMYC, a 110 year old sailing club) in terms of equipment and expertise. It conducted a national sailboat championship (regatta) which was a first for Mysore. Participants from across the country made it a successful event paving the way for Mysore to be a destination for sailing and regattas.
The National Federation-Yachting association of India (YAI) rewarded RMSC by granting it the National Junior Ranking event 2022 (July 29-Aug 4) which would attract 150 + participants from across the nation. Races would be held in various classes of sailboats from Dinghys like Optimist Class, Laser Class, and Enterprise Class to bigger boats like the Omega class and the Seabird Class.
Our grateful thanks to the Hotel Association of Mysore which has come forward to support in logistics like accommodation, transportation, food etc for the event. RMYC is pitching in with equipment, expertise and manpower for safe and successful conduct of the event. KSSA is supporting the event wholeheartedly be providing recognition to the event along with the Mysore District Sailing Association.
RMSC is training a team of young sailors to qualify for the event and hopefully bring glory to the state of Karnataka and Mysore. The event would be an annual feature boosting the tourism sector of the state in addition to further encouraging the sports ecosystem.
