The Royal Natal Yacht Club is the oldest of all the sport clubs in South Africa and the oldest yacht club in Southern Hemisphere. It was founded in May 1858 as the Durban Regatta Club and its name was later changed to Natal Yacht Club. In 1891, the club received a Royal Charter as Royal Natal Yacht Club.
