The Sailing club at Runswick Bay was Founded in 1953 by a group of friends that all had an interest in both sailing and Runswick Bay. From these beginnings, the club managed to obtain the lease on the beach cafe as its base and new club house.
It soon developed into a very popular sailing venue, with various types of mono-hulled craft out most weekends in the summer. The first major change came with the introduction of the Shearwater Catamaran in 1960. This soon became the benchmark boat and most members at the time swapped one hull for two. In 1977 the club held a promotional weekend with a new type of Catamaran – the Dart 18 and the ageing Shearwater was replaced.
