About AYH

The Association was formed in 2005 and our membership now includes historians, academics, writers, boat researchers, yacht restorers, and all those who have an interest in researching and sharing the history of yachting.

Our membership is not confined to the British Isles, for we reach across Europe to North America, Australia and beyond. We are now working closely with the National Maritime Museum Greenwich to increase the public’s awareness of the history of our sport.

We aim to celebrate our rich maritime heritage and to encourage research as well as the preservation of important records. Most of all we seek to provide a forum to help and support others with their own research.
