Deben Yacht Club (DYC) is 
situated on the upper reaches of the river Deben at Woodbridge in 
Suffolk. The 
first record of a regatta at Woodbridge dates back to 1784. Deben Yacht Club was 
founded in 1838, renamed Deben Sailing Club in 1886 and eventually renamed Deben 
Yacht Club in 1928. On 8 January 2004 Deben Yacht Club was awarded Champion Club 
status. RYA (The Royal Yachting Association) / Volvo Champion Club status is 
awarded to less than 10% of RYA affiliated clubs in the UK in recognition of 
their active and successful juniors and youths coaching schemes.
The burgee of DYC is blue with a white disk.
