GYC Racing & Projects

Founded in 2008, the Gstaad Yacht Club Racing Team was created to support young Swiss sailing talents on their journey to the Olympics and international regattas. Since then, GYC sailors have competed in top events including Weymouth 2012 and Rio 2016 across classes such as 470, Finn, Laser, Nacra 17, Star, and RS:X Windsurf. Today, the club continues to support promising junior athletes, united by their passion for sailing and proudly representing Switzerland on the world stage.

History

The GYC Racing Team, although already supported before, was officially founded in 2012 primarily with "The vision “ of developing «A school of life» - a pathway of concrete experiences. Supporting young sailing talents, mainly from the region but not excluding other geographies, at the highest level with the clear objective of participating in international level, accessing the highest levels of world sailing and concrete training plans and regattas to achieve concrete results.

The GYC became the home of top international successful sailors that participate in all major competitions around the world such the Americas Cup, World and European Championships, Swiss National Championships and ultimately, in the Olympic Games.
