About the BFSLYC (summary)

A detailed version of the BFSLYC's work is available on the Details page.

The British Federation of Sand and Land Yacht Clubs (or just 'The Fed'), represents sand and land yacht clubs in the UK at national and international level. It is a member of the International Federation of Sand and Land Yachts - www.FISLY.org.

The Fed officiates at a series of regattas run at some of the best sailing sites in the country, and (based on regatta results) selects a team to represent the UK in international competition. It also provides third party insurance for its members and maintains links with local and national authorites, for example regional councils and English Nature.

Collectively called sand or land yachts, the Federation caters for several classes, including Classes 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8. These are also known as yachts, parakarts (or kite-buggies), speed sails and other land boards powered by sails or kites (foils).

Each of clubs and associates accommodate one or more of the above classes, and if you are interested in finding out more about the facilities and activites that they have offer, check out the Clubs page.

A list of the BFSLYC's committee members (officers) is available on the Officers page.
