International Council of Yacht Clubs
The International Council of Yacht Clubs (Abbreviation ICOYC) is an international association of yacht clubs at the chairman or commodore level . The Council sees itself as an association of the leading yacht clubs in the world.
history
In 2003 several board members of sailing clubs from all over the world met for the centenary of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in Canada . The expansion of relationships with one another was discussed at a symposium . Two years later the same club held a Commodores Forum for various yacht clubs. The association was founded at the second Commodores Forum in 2006, held by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club .
