The Dixie Inland Yacht
Racing Association (DIYRA) was organized to promote the sport of sailing on
southeastern inland lakes through sailboat racing, educational activities, and
providing a member forum. DIYRA was founded in 1961 by members of the Atlanta
Yacht Club (AYC), Lake Lanier Sailing Club (LLSC) and University Yacht Club (UYC)
to accommodate the substantial growth and differing requirements of "organized" sailing
within the geographical area of US southeastern inland lakes.. The association has grown from the original three clubs to typically over twenty member sailing organizations. Membership in the association is provided through club membership and individual membership, which accommodates all classifications of area sailors. DIYRA is a member of the United States Sailing Association (US SAILING). DIYRA is located within US SAILING'S Area D, which includes three other regional sailing associations (or "RSAs"):
Area D is organized per a "Memorandum of Agreement" that includes information on the duties of the Director, voting and Conditions for US SAILINGChampionships at the Area D level. One of the most important functions of Area D is conducting the Semi-Final Championship Events as part of the US SAILING Adult and Junior Championships.
