A Brief An advertisement was placed in The Sydney Morning Herald - “Mosquito Yacht Club - Boat owners wishing to join please meet at McGrath’s at History 8 tonight.” The advertised meeting duly took place at Punch & McGraths Hotel in King Street. With Mr. T. Strickland in the chair, it was decided Royal Prince Alfred right there and then to form a yacht club to be called “Prince Alfred Yacht Club”. It seems then, Yacht Club was as now, Club members were in the habit of getting founded on Tuesday, things done rather than merely talking about them! 15th October 1867.

In the early 1970s an opportunity arose for Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in the city to join The Sydney Club, formerly The Millions Club. By selling the city property, the Club could continue development at Pittwater while members using the city premises could be happily accommodated in the luxurious surroundings of The Sydney Club almost next door. The RPAYC Clubhouse was erected on Green Point together with four marina arms on the western side and additional hardstand areas. The Club is justifiably proud of its achievements, having come a long way over its 154-year existence. It has become a well-respected yacht club around the world and an integral part of the community that it serves. Those early pioneers would be amazed to see how far their dream has evolved and the exciting future ahead for this magnificent Club. 14 Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club
