The International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians

In 1947, a group of Rotarian boating enthusiasts began flying the Rotary emblem from their masts. And, thus, the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) was formed in Great Britain, becoming the second official Rotary fellowship following the Esperanto Rotary Fellowship.

Today, there are 120 active Rotary yachting fleets in 31 regions throughout the world. These include Argentina, Albania, Australia, Bulgaria, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China (Hong Kong SAR), Colombia, Crimea, Croatia, Czech and Slovak Republics, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mali, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, Uruguay and the USA.

IYFR has a worldwide membership of 3,537 mariners who are ‘enrolled’ in the 120 fleets and in the World E-Fleet, which was created to connect mariners who have no other fleet they can join.
