About the DRYA
The Detroit Regional Yacht-Racing Association (DRYA) was
established in 1912 as the Detroit River Yachting
Association by the Commodores of the Detroit Boat Club and
the Detroit Yacht Club, Commodore Harry Austin and Commodore
Harry Kendall, respectively. Originally founded to be a
clearing board to assist local clubs in resolving conflicts
with their individual summer regatta calendars, the DRYA is
now a Michigan Corporation and a registered Non-profit
organization.
Membership in the DRYA and one of its member clubs is a
general requirement to sail your own boat in DRYA sanctioned
races. Membership is not required to crew aboard racing
vessels, although we recommend membership to stay informed
of upcoming races and regattas. A temporary 'provisional
membership' in the DRYA (valid for up to 12 months and
non-renewable) will also allow you to compete in these races
for one year. The intention behind this type of membership
is that it allows you time to look at the various clubs and
to make a reasoned decision as to which club best fits your
needs.
The DRYA is hosting ten seminars, developed with the novice
sailor in mind, between January 2006 and March 2006. These
seminars are open to the public and are free of charge.
