When ARC entered the scene, they had excavated lots of gravel locally and were creating a string of lakes along the northern flank of the City in Linford Valley. They were under pressure, and indeed under some legal obligation, to create amenities in their disused workings and, having just finished excavations at Dovecote Lake, were looking for a use for it. They approached Milton Keynes Sailing Club, who were a little frustrated at the time by the delays in making Willen Lake available, and offered them a tenancy at Dovecote Lake. Now that MKSC had two offers on the table, there was of course disagreement about which was the better of the two. This ultimately caused a split, when a good number of members elected to leave to form Dovecote Sailing Club. This caused a certain bitterness between the two clubs for some years, but there is now an excellent relationship between Haversham SC (which was Dovecote SC) and Milton Keynes SC (who have now moved to Caldecote Lake).
