History

[edit | edit source]

Sailing in the Indian subcontinent has been in practice since 1932. The first sailing club, known as the Royal Karachi Yacht Club, was formed at Bunker Island, Manora, Karachi. RKYC was under the control of the British and expatriates since 1947.

After Independence, sailing activities were undertaken by the Karachi Yacht Club. In 1969, the Pakistan Yachting Association (PYA) was formed by Rear Admiral M A K Lodhi, Captain Z U Chaudhry, and Rody Hermes of Karachi Yacht Club.

The name of PYA was changed to Pakistan Sailing Federation in 1996.[2]
