**Odisha Yachting Association (OYA)**

 

The Odisha Yachting Association (OYA) stands as the premier authority for yachting and sailing in the Indian state of Odisha. Our mission is to foster the growth and advancement of yachting and sailing across the region, creating opportunities for enthusiasts and athletes to engage in and excel at these exhilarating sports.

 

Situated at the Silver City Boat Club, which operates under the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation, OYA is strategically positioned to leverage the resources and support of a prominent tourism entity. This partnership enhances our ability to offer high-quality facilities and services to our members and participants.

 

OYA’s core functions include the promotion of yachting and sailing through educational programs, events, and competitions. We organize a range of yachting events throughout the year, providing platforms for both amateur and professional sailors to showcase their skills. These events are held across various water bodies along the Odisha coast, allowing us to utilize the diverse maritime environments available in the region.

 

Our training sessions and practice regattas are conducted at multiple coastal locations, ensuring that sailors can experience and adapt to different sea conditions and enhance their capabilities. By engaging in regular practice and competition, OYA aims to build a robust yachting culture in Odisha, nurturing talent from grassroots to elite levels.

 

In addition to competitive sailing, OYA is committed to promoting yachting as a recreational activity. We strive to make yachting accessible to all, encouraging community participation and fostering a love for the sport. Through outreach programs and partnerships, we work to raise awareness and inspire more individuals to take up yachting and sailing.

 

The Odisha Yachting Association is dedicated to the development of yachting and sailing as integral parts of Odisha’s sporting and tourism landscape. Our vision is to position Odisha as a leading hub for yachting in India, known for its vibrant sailing community and world-class events.
