The International Council of Yacht Clubs (ICOYC) is a non-profit association of prestigious yacht clubs from all over the world. The Council’s mission is to enable its member clubs to share their experience in the world of yachting with a view to improve their functionality and the standard of the services they provide. This association, previously existing as a “concept” for several years, took shape, and acquired a name, between 2005 and 2010. Yacht Club Italiano (YCI) joined in 2011 with the late Paolo Caffarena as its “Representative” and “ICOYC Officer” until 2014, when Carlo de Thierry took over. Nowadays YCI has Giampaolo Rocca as its Representative and Ludovica Reggio as Alternate. As one of the oldest clubs in the world, YCI contributes with the best Mediterranean seagoing traditions, and enjoys twinning or reciprocity agreements with several clubs worldwide: over 30 at the moment, with more to come in the future. Next “ICOYC Commodore’s World Forum” will be held by the end of September 2019 at Royal Cork Yacht Club in Ireland, concurrent with the celebration of its 300th Anniversary. RCYC, the oldest yacht club in the world, has a reciprocity agreement with Yacht Club Italiano

Associazione Italiana Derive d’Epoca. A.I.D.E (Associazione Italiana Derive D’Epoca) was formed by a group of vintage keel boat owners, with the YCI present as a founding member in the person of Carlo Croce. The Association has become a nation-wide organisation with the contribution of individual owners and clubs, thanks to the role of the technical committee and the external supervisory committee. The external supervisory committee enables the association to create an information platform, capable of handling communications between private sailors and sailing organisations at a national level, in order to promote yachting. The amateur sporting association AIDE is a non-profit making organisation, the only one of its kind in Italy. It is a reference point for all those who are interested in the history of Olympic sailing and fixed and movable wooden keeled one design craft.
