Deben Yacht Club (DYC) is
situated on the upper reaches of the river Deben at Woodbridge in
Suffolk. The
first record of a regatta at Woodbridge dates back to 1784. Deben Yacht Club was
founded in 1838, renamed Deben Sailing Club in 1886 and eventually renamed Deben
Yacht Club in 1928. On 8 January 2004 Deben Yacht Club was awarded Champion Club
status. RYA (The Royal Yachting Association) / Volvo Champion Club status is
awarded to less than 10% of RYA affiliated clubs in the UK in recognition of
their active and successful juniors and youths coaching schemes.
The burgee of DYC is blue with a white disk.
